Lincoln School Historic Apartments, formerly Lincoln School, is a former public school and current loft apartment building in Racine, Wisconsin. [1] Constructed in 1890, it replaced an earlier school on the other side of State Street, which had been built in 1862 and damaged by a tornado in 1883. [2] The school opened in April 1891, with eight classrooms. An addition was made in 1908, adding eight more rooms, as well as an auditorium, stockroom, nurse's room, and teacher's lounge. A statue of the school's namesake, Abraham Lincoln, was erected on a triangular plot next to the school in 1923. A chimney was added in 1932, with a boiler house built in 1936. [3] The school closed in 1981, and was used for storage by the school district until it was sold to the Toldt-Hennessy Group of Brookfield in 1988. On September 1, 1991, the first tenants moved into the newly converted Lincoln School Historic Apartments, a loft building geared toward seniors. [4]
