Oliver School being remade into homes

Winchester has such a rich history, and it’s one of those towns that preserves the past in such a way that its heritage is included in progressive future development.

A perfect example of this is the Oliver School Apartments.

It was fortunate for me that my boss had a scheduling conflict Wednesday afternoon because it meant I got to visit the former African-American school on Oliver Street in his stead. And I was astounded by what I saw.

The old school is being transformed by AU Associates Inc. into some of the finest apartments I’ve seen anywhere in this town.

In a venture involving the owners, Christ Temple Church, the Kentucky Heritage Council, the Kentucky Housing Corporation, local banks and other partners, the classroom space has been converted into 11 apartments that will provide affordable housing for low-income residents.

One of the lofts I saw was absolutely luxurious. Covering 1,650 square feet, the three-bedroom residence, like the other apartments, has 12-foot-high ceilings and huge insulated windows that brilliantly illuminate the living space. Even the smallest apartment, a one-bedroom studio, has plenty of space and its own washer-and-dryer room. And these apartments will rent for only about $400 to $600 a month.

And, in addition to the apartments, the school’s gym will be remade into a community center that can be used to host receptions, dances and neighborhood meetings.

Not only is this project preserving one of the treasures of Winchester’s African-American legacy that had been neglected for 40 years, but it is doing so in a way that will help to revitalize a part of our town that has been in decline.

]]>Array['dateposted']Grand Opening Planned by http://www.auassociates.com/blog.php?page=8http://www.auassociates.com/blog.php?page=8Plans are underway for the Grand Opening and Dedication for the First Presbyterian Church Apartments in Lexington, KY on Thursday, July 23 at 11:00 a.m.  Come join us to celebrate in cutting the ribbon! Please RSVP to rsvp@auassociates.com by July 15th.

Located in the Northside Residential Historic District, the First Presbyterian Church Apartments encompass two historic buildings built in the mid 1800s.  The Colonial is the oldest original apartment building in Downtown Lexington at 179 Market Street.  185 Market Street was originally part of the neighboring house and was used as a former servant’s quarters.   The Northside District consists almost entirely of juxtaposed blocks of varying and often contrasting socio-economic, architectural, and urbanite character.  Arranged in a recognizable pattern reflecting the continuing evolution of a primarily 19th-century residential area, these diverse ingredients comprise a remarkable integrated whole, making it a viable place to live. 

The original apartment units have been carefully and expertly renovated to include all modern systems and amenities.  The apartments feature hardwood floors, large windows, spacious closets, individually controlled thermostats, and fully equipped kitchens.

There are 10 gracious apartments in total with 1 studio, 2 one-bedroom units and 7 two-bedroom units.  All homes located in the Colonial building are fully accessible with a new elevator that serves all levels.  A Community Library located in one of the buildings will serve all residents.

Development made possible by:   AU Associates, Inc.
Architect:  S + A Architecture, Inc.
Contractor:  Churchill McGee LLC

Financial assistance provided by:

Central Bank
City of Lexington Community Development
First Presbyterian Church
Kentucky Housing Corporation
Kentucky Heritage Council

Dedicated to the vision of Lee Bowman
Pastor of First Presbyterian Church from 2000-2009
