Architectural significance of school fails to halt demolition.
Despite opposition from preservationists (yep, them again), Costello Dismantling is busily consigning the Martin Luther King Elementary School in Cambridge, Massachusetts to the history books.
The Martin Luther King Elementary School (1968-1971) was designed by Catalan architect Josep Lluis Sert (Sert, Jackson and Associate). The school compliments the many other buildings in Cambridge that Sert worked on while also teaching at Harvard University, including the Peabody Terrace Graduate Housing complex just across the street.
