Tiger Town Park entrance - Before and After


TIGER TOWN PARK - to be finished this week. Here are some "before" and "after" photos taken of the old high school entrance way that was left when the school was demolished to make way for a playground/park. The old school facade looked like this for 4 years while waiting to be restored and turned into the park entrance. 

The roof was removed and a new roof put in place. Then a new sign was painted and put on top of the roof. The old doors were opened up and glass removed from windows and doors, leaving the openings for air to flow through, and to maintain the design of the building. Bricks had to be replaced at each side and on the back. A new ceiling was added and the interior painted. Original columns are intact and the steps were giving a new coat of paint.


Restrooms on the west side and a pavilion with round columns on the right side.


Back view with amphitheater attached to the back of the school. A small raised concrete stage is between the steps and the playground.

Check out the new flagpole in front of the school (on left side of photo) - same location as old flagpole during school days.
