Former Cary Elementary School becomes Arts Center

The former Cary Elementary School is a lovely brick building at the intersection of Walnut Street and Kildaire Farm Road that dates back to 1939. It has presence and class, and I am so very happy that it hasn’t been torn down in the name of “progress.” Instead, the Town of Cary is spending $13.1 million to renovate it and turn it into an arts center. It will have classroom, studio, performance and office space. Also, to be added will be a stage and fly tower. Construction is set to take about 15 months.
