Historic Riley School Property Sold by Community Schools of Frankfort to Frankfort Alumnus
FRANKFORT, Ind. – The Community Schools of Frankfort (CSF) has sold the historic Riley Elementary School & Rohrabaugh Field property located at 303 S. Williams St., to Frankfort alumnus Kelly Good on Friday, May 14, 2021, for $312,500 – above the listing price of $250,000. The approximately 7-acre site, which includes both the area of Riley School and Rohrabaugh Field, sold after being on the market for just over one week with Dave Rodkey of Dave Rodkey Realtors.
According to a press release issued by CSF, Mr. Good, owner of KJG Architecture in West Lafayette, plans to develop single-family homes on the property that will blend in aesthetically with the existing neighborhood. Having grown up only a few blocks from the site, Mr. Good knows the neighborhood well. In communicating with CSF Superintendent Joel McKinney, Mr. Good expressed a deep appreciation and love for the Frankfort community. He is eager to develop the site into something that will bring more families into this great city.
The KJG Architecture website states: “Kelly founded KJG Architecture in 1997 and has served as the President and Senior Architect since the firm’s inception. After graduating from Ball State University with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture, he developed an extensive background in the field with decades of experience at several design firms. His portfolio includes education, municipal, commercial, retail, religious, multi-family, industrial, and dozens of multi-use building designs.”
KJG Architecture is currently leading the project to build the first-ever dedicated building for the Frankfort Police Department. Previously, KJG Architecture lead the design of the Frankfort High School remodel and expansion and CSF Superintendent building.
“The school board is glad to see that the former Riley School property will someday be homes to future students,” added Superintendent McKinney.
