Paterson Elementary Update

 What was the name of this school in Montgomery behind the current city court building?

HERE is the location.

Answer: It WAS Paterson Elementary:

Paterson Elementary school in Montgomery Alabama closed in 2007. At one time it served 153 students from K-5th grade with a student to teacher ratio of a very low 10:1, one of the lowest in the state. The school's students were 99% African American and was operated by the Montgomery County School District.






 And a more important question: why has the city not torn it down in the fifteen years since it was closed?

(Update: I've asked the school PR person for an update on the statue of the property, but have not received a reply).
