Unless something majorly changed, Gorrie was decommissioned , and utilized for textbook storage for a couple years... I THINK since then it was sold to a private party and is being converted to residential??

Beautiful Old School House ...  :)

It WAS John Gorrie Junior High School so in effect, it was a middle School.   Delighted to see something being done with it, rather than it remaining vacated... We all know what happens to vacated old School buildings.

I believe Lakeshore Middle serves all of Riverside and Avondale now.
