Bowen School To Be Razed And Land Sold At Public Sale
The Bowen School property near 337th and Illinois in Cook County will be offered for public sale on August 17 after a district board concluded the structure has reached the end of its economic life. The building, abandoned since February 1962, has major fire code violations and would require heavy rehab costs estimated at 75 000 to 100 000 dollars, making continued operation impractical.
