Eventually the school became Northeast High School. The auditorium was added in 1916 and in 1936 vocational education shops and many regular classrooms were added to the original building. Renamed Julia deBurgos School. The school was vacated in 2002. It sat largely untouched until 2008, when scrappers and the neighborhood animals really began to rip the place apart. By 2011, it was a shell of a building; just about everything in the building was either looted or smashed. In August 2011, a 4-alarm fire ripped through the original part of the building, gutting most of the 3rd floor and severely damaging the 2nd floor.  Media Coverage -----Links below this line were broken or dead on 6.2.2023----- http://abclocal.go...s/local&id=8286096 http://articles.ph...es-school-building  Future Plans The new owner plans to convert the rear addition to apartments and the rest of the property into a grocery store.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Edison School Thu, Sep 8th, 2011 posted by Passenger 5 pictures 12 - 01.04 - Canadian Visitation Hours Tue, Jan 10th, 2012 posted by proletar1at 6 pictures Ending Thu, Apr 24th, 2014 posted by Amano 10 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
