Another Call to Save the Trumbull School Building

 

Ben Joravsky of The Reader explores the closing of Trumbull School and Edgewater’s battle to save the building. Joravsky suggests that Mayor Emanuel had to close a couple of North side schools. Trumbull drew the short straw. Now politicians want to put something in place of the school that will generate tax revenues, which means tearing down a great old building. Joravsky refers to signs in the neighborhood to “save Trumbull.” You can help in that effort by signing a petition provided by the Edgewater Historical Society. There are several proposals to reuse and repurpose the building. We don’t need more condos or another grocery store. Save Trumbull.

Save the Trumbull School Building

 

The Edgewater Historical Society has started a campaign to save the building that housed Trumbull School for over 100 years. Please take some time to look at this website and sign the petition to preserve the structure. If this building is torn down, what will replace it? Another condo building? A big box grocery store? Once a classic building is gone, it’s gone forever. The website details the building’s significance and possible forms of reuse. I urge you to look over the website and sign the petition. We need to preserve our history and classic buildings.
