Work is nearing completion on The Gregory, a school-turned-rental conversion in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Located at 991 Saint Johns Place, St. Gregory the Great School was built in 1921 by Helme & Corbett. In 2011, the building was declared structurally compromised, requiring immediate vacancy. The conversion came to fruition with a team that includes GEMA Capital Partners and PKSB Architecture. Construction consisted of a complete structural overhaul, full façade restoration, a complementary two-story addition, and three-story horizontal expansion.

    Google Streetview suggests the school was completely demolished and rebuilt with a steel frame. The load-bearing walls of the original had developed dangerous cracks. The entrance portico was preserved. The new structure is compatible with the church. A doorman might be garbed as a nun and brandish a wooden ruler.

  2. It appears they put it back together
