EASD to sell Cottingham School

In case you didn't see the article, here you go.
We here at UE reported on this eyesore back in March 2010! SO they finally got around to doing something about it, good.
Apartments would be great here, as long as they aren't of the HUD public housing Section 8 variety. This building has tall ceilings and big windows and classic architecture, would make an awesome place to live; they even have parking!
Here's a picture from better days...

Crown Jewel of the West Ward



This is really a magnificent building. Well, not in the shape its in obviously. This is the (former) EASD Administration Building on Northampton St in the West Ward. Pretty, isn't it? If you click on it, you can see there is a 'For Sale' sign out front; I guess the Admin didn't want to represent in the WW anymore so they built a new Castle out on Bushkill Drive. Just let this one rot, who cares? It's only right in everyone's BACKYARD.
I really hope someone that cares about the neighborhood more than the EASD buys this building and makes condos or something out of it; really, it has great style, and lots of parking, LOTS of potential.
But right now, and for a LONG TIME ALREADY, it's UGLY, so it gets posted here.
