They live in the Park Lane building.  The historic apartment tower next to Memorial Park.

Thought the Weavers lived in Villa Riva?
And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

Yep, I was completely wrong about that so I removed my post.

A beautiful, historic building was saved and the neighborhood revitalized.  I say, "hats off" to the Weavers.

It is beautiful but i am still against any public school being sold and turned into privat property when our schools are stuffed. Just me.

I would agree with you GG... however several are / have been decomissioned for some time , including Gorrie , although I am at a loss as to why that particular School. 

It is better that this happen ,than to let the building stand empty and unused.  Annie Lytle School's current condition is the result.  50 years it has sat unused...longer than it WAS used as a School.

I think the project is beautiful.

I am curious about the Price tag on the renovation costs of this project.

$13 Million is the figure I read somewhere.  There is no way that Ms. Weaver will make a profit on the project and I think she knew that going into it.

Wish they (the Weavers ) would take on Annie Lytle.  Alot of the pre demolition has been done by 50 years of Vandals .

This will be another piece of the Weavers legacy in this area.

If I recall correctly, I believe 1661 was something like $600 for a 2-bed (maybe 1800 sf), or about $0.33/sf. This would be ~$450 for the same size, so its better, but I don't know about "good."

Big turnout at the Gorrie event yesterday, despite the heat.  A lot of folks were asking for realtor contact info, so let's hope this helps spur interest. I was told they've got six condos under contract in so far. Mayor Brown toured the building with the Weavers and the project's very first buyer, a (very attractive) single gal.
