The North Broadway School building is a great example of a ‘modern elementary’ City School. The building, designed by prolific school architect Charles A. Smith in 1922, retains a majority of the character defining features of schools built in this time period. After years of sitting vacant and in disrepair, Exact Partners took on the task to redevelop the school into a multi-family residential apartment development. The project transformed a dilapidated and abandoned historic school building into a fresh, active site. The new residential units contain a well balanced blend of historic architecture and contemporary urban apartment design
