Tiger Town Getting a New Look

. 

The old school facade is almost completed and soon the 4-step amphitheater will be attached to the back.


In the first photo, you can see the old school wing in the back on the left. It has been made into 8 luxury two-bedroom apts and 2 efficiency one- bedroom apts. The old trees were left for shade.


The next photo is a view of the new restrooms on the left. Old bricks from the school were used. Some of the old bricks were used to replace broken or missing bricks on the sides of the old school facade. There are columns made from old brick to anchor the fence, and 4 columns on the pavilion for the big, round posts.
A new sign is being painted to put on top of the building. You can see I typed "Elba High School" and placed in on the photo. There will be landscaping between the buildings including dogwood trees and crepe myrtle trees. A path will lead to the playground on each side of the old school facade, and you will enter through a gate.

The old parking lot was enlarged and new asphalt put down and stripes added for parking at an angle. Soon it will all be complete and children will have a wonderful place to play. Some of these hand print tiles were made in 2006 so the little kids are 3 years older already. A new mulch topping was added to the play area in June.

I have worked on this project for
several years and will rejoice when it is completed - hopefully by the end
of July according to the contractor.
