Linwood Public School is located in the Linwood neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio and was constructed in 1929. It was closed in 2005.
The Linwood Public School, a Romanesque Revival gem built in 1929 with tan brick and two stately stories, was designed by architects Fecheimer & Ilhorst for Cincinnati’s Linwood neighborhood. The school later became the Linwood Fundamental Academy before closing in 2005 after a new East End school opened.
Briefly repurposed as a shelter for Hurricane Katrina’s displaced, with cots, showers, and air conditioning installed within its hallowed halls, the school stood as a beacon of resilience amidst tragedy. However, the ravages of time proved unforgiving – in 2012, this architectural gem sold at auction for a mere $75,000 to an Indianapolis company, a fraction of its historical value.

Was your mom the principal at one time? I’m remembering Lorraine Cook, but that may not be correct. It’s been a few years!
What is going to happen to it now?
