Both the Milwaukee Public School district and St. Lucas Lutheran have plans for the 123-year-old red brick schoolhouse, 619 E. Dover St., that has sat empty for two years. MPS district officials on Nov. 19 gathered with the public to discuss their plan to convert the vacant school into housing for new teachers. The district wants the housing in order to attract and retain new teachers, said Gina Spang, director of facilities and maintenance for MPS. "We took a look at our assets and the Dover building in Bay View, and we felt that NEW LOCATION 729 S. 84th St. (414)257-9823 that was a facility that, based on the way it's constructed and where it's located, really lent itself to a nice conversion to teacher housing," Spang said.
