Old Marquette School - Indiana Landmarks 10 Most End... htfps://www.indianalandmarks.org/endangered-property... <br />IdkMd-% -Scho &-A <br />1905 COLLEGE AVENUE, SOUTH BEND <br />{Photo: Historic Preservation Commission or Sot:th Bend and St. Joseph Count)") <br />Thinking Outside the Box <br />Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal ---- a massive make-work program to pull the country out of <br />the Depression --- paid nearly half the cost to build Marquette School at 1905 College Avenue <br />in 1936-37. In 2011, the school system opened a new school north of the old one. <br />The replacement plan had been underway for years, so the old school was long neglected <br />before it was emptied, with demolition expected as its ultimate fate. The building won National <br />Register status in 2013 over the school system's objection. Now it undergoes slow demolition <br />by neglect. <br />1 of 2 8/1812017.6:12 PM <br />
