What Should Go Here?

Once a week, we'll highlight one property and ask Patch readers their thoughts on what should go there or how the property should be redeveloped.

This week's entry is the old John B. Gordon School at 1205 Metropolitan Ave. SE, between Flat Shoals and Moreland avenues.

The school operated from 1909 until 1995, when Atlanta Public Schools closed it.

The now-defunct Inman Park Properties owned the 41,000-square-foot property with plans for redevelopment that never came to fruition.

In the meantime, the building has fallen into a state of neglect.

So what would you like to see go there? Should it be torn down and replaced with something else?

Or should it be rehabbed into some residential use? APS' former Bass High School at 1080 Euclid Ave. in Little Five Points, for example, was closed in 1990. That gave way to the Bass Lofts apartments that opened in 1998.
