Does anyone have the Sixth Grade Graduation photo that can be scanned and displayed below?
If so, please email the webmaster for details.

Until a graduation photo becomes available, here is the beginning of an album of Northrop alumni.

The SENA office has received the following information from Chuck Ellis at Applewood Pointe Cooperatives:

Northrop and Howe School Site Redevelopment – Affordable Senior Housing

United Properties has been selected by the Minneapolis School District to purchase and redevelop the Northrop School site located at 1611 46th Street East and the Howe School
building located on 38th Street East between 43rd and 44th Avenues South.  The goal is to redevelop these sites to accommodate the needs of seniors in the area.  United Properties
develops a product called Applewood Pointe Senior Cooperative.  This alternative represents a reasonably affordable alternative for seniors 55 and better who are looking to stay in the
neighborhood but would prefer a maintenance free senior oriented option.

The first Applewood Pointe cooperative was developed in 2004.  Each of the present five Applewood Pointe Cooperatives is 100% sold out and has waiting lists.  United Properties is
hopeful the redevelopment of the Northrop and Howe school sites will draw a significant level of interest from area seniors given so few options are available. 

Introductory Informational Meetings were held in January to present additional details on the building designs, maintenance free cooperative lifestyle, floor plans and pricing. 
These meetings will help area seniors become aware of the opportunity, and help determine the level of interest and support for these senior cooperative communities.  The first meeting
was held Monday, January 11, at 1:00 p.m. at the Riverview Theater on 42nd Avenue South.  This meeting focused primarily on the Howe school site.  A second Informational Meeting
took place Thursday, January 14, at 9:00 a.m. at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 1720 East Minnehaha Parkway.  This meeting focused primarily on the Northrop school site.

Information on both sites was available at each of the meetings.  Attendees were asked to please RSVP to 952-884-6400 as seating was limited for these meetings.  Refreshments were
served.

Additional information about the Northrop and Howe developments can be found at ApplewoodPoint in the Community section under “Future Plans”.

Please click on this NEWS page on our website.  United Properties has dropped its bid to redevelop Howe School.
It is, however, going ahead with its proposal for a senior co-op at the Northrop School site, at 1611 E. 46th Street.  Plans call for razing the school and
adding two new buildings with 98 units of senior housing.

UPDATE:  Today, I drove by Northrop Elementary to see if the school had been demolished yet.  No, it is still in tact, but there was some equipment in the parking lot in front of the school. 
I'm not sure what it was, but the area didn't look as tidy as it did in the photo at the top of this page, taken in 2006.  There was an ApplewoodPoint advertisement for the purchase of future units.
