Sad to See Coultrap Torn Down? 2 Walk-Throughs Remain
You can stroll through memory lane on Thursday, March 21, and Saturday, March 30, if you make an RSVP.
Geneva School District 304 has scheduled two opportunities for interested community members to walk through the Coultrap building at 1113 Peyton Street prior to its demolition.
The guided walk-throughs will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 21, and at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 30.
Those interested in attending a walk-through are asked to call (630) 463-3020 to RSVP. Anyone interested in scheduling a walk-through for a large group is asked to call (630) 463-3020 to schedule an alternate date/time.
In January, the Board of Education voted unanimously to approve the demolition of the Coultrap facility. The area will be converted to green space, allowing for its eventual use for Geneva High School’s final expansion when it is needed.

Sorry to see Coultrap go. Spent my HS freshman year at Coultrap when it was a high school. Grew up right across the street at a house on the corner of Ford and Logan. It will sure look strange when I return to Geneva to no longer see Coultrap
there.

I am heartbroken to learn of the impending demolition. I also grew up next to the school and went to middle school there. It's unfortunate that the Geneva school board is more interested in spending tax payers money building new schools outside of town than trying to preserve and make use of a perfectly good, solid building in the middle of town, accessible to all areas of the city. Just further proof of how much Geneva is going downhill. I am happy to not live there any longer and watch it being systematically destroyed brick by brick. Literally.
