Summary, model-written
James Clark Technical School opened as a technical school in 1913, closed in 1972, and was converted to housing (specifically flats) by 1984. It is currently built as housing. The site is located within 0.1 km of the demolished St. James Centre and directly adjacent (0.0 km) to Parkside Works (a built site).
Why. The site shares the 'reinhabit' strategy with 5 peer sites (e.g., Kahn Tailoring Company building, Wapping Dock Warehouse), all repurposed from original uses. Peer sites opened/closed in similar eras (1907-1914) and used the same strategy.
Where it stands. The site is verified as 'built' for its current housing use. The record lacks parcel details, deal history, or planning documents. The 1984 conversion date is noted in events but not explicitly tied to the 'reinhabit' strategy in the record. The status 'verified: draft' indicates incomplete data.
For a planner
- Adjacent to Parkside Works (0km)
