The Ensley High School campus in Birmingham has been abandoned since 2006, when the last students moved to Jackson-Olin High School.
The old Ensley High campus will soon be home to hundreds of families under a planned $54.6 million new apartment and housing development in partnership with the Housing Authority of Birmingham.
“Unfortunately, the high school itself cannot be salvaged,” said Tab Bullard, vice president of development for the Southeast region for Zimmerman Properties, which is overseeing development. In 2018, the main school building that dates to 1901 was gutted by fire, which caused an outpouring of nostalgia from former students.
