The Euclid School in St. Louis stands four stories above street level and boasts a slate roof, sturdy brick walls and tall windows. It’s hard to miss—a series of bright teal doors mark the entrance. It was built at the end of the 1880’s when construction and brick craftsmanship went hand-in-hand. Needless to say, they don’t make ’em like this anymore. Today the Euclid School remains vacant but full of potential. We’re working with Brinshore Development LLC and Theaster Gates Studio to repurpose the building and a few nearby lots into a combination of 45 apartments and arts/cultural spaces that build strong connections between its tenants and the surrounding community.
