The former Rosemont Elementary School in Bristol, TN dates to at least 1930 (Stone & Haskins, 2005). The 3-story building contains 32,640 sf of space on 4.5 acres in the center of town. It was purchased by Tri-Cities Christian School in 1984 and closed in 2009. In 2014, plans were initiated to purchase the building to be renovated into a teen center. Since it remains vacant and unused in 2016, that apparently did not come to pass.

It’s so sad when buildings like this sit vacant and deteriorating.
