The Curley School, the historic public school in Ajo, Arizona, completed a multi million dollar renovation into 30 affordable live/work rentals for artists, artisans and creative home businesses. The grand opening was held on May 29, 2007.
The Curley School's eight buildings, spread out over a seven-acre campus, offer 114,000 square feet of apartments, classrooms, workshops, and a huge auditorium with an indoor outdoor stage. The main building, an architectural masterpiece of Spanish Colonial Revival style, was built in 1919. Additional buildings were added to the campus in 1926 and 1937.
The Curley School is on the National Register of Historic Places and is located in the beautiful and equally historic heart of Ajo, a former copper mining town in southern Arizona.
