On Monday, preservationists launched the process of designating the Eagle Ford School building as a historic landmark.
Above the front entrance is inscribed “Eagle Ford District 49.”The almost-forgotten Gothic revival building at 1601 Chalk Hill Road was at risk of being demolished.
Bonnie Parker, of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde, is the most well-known attendant of the Eagle Ford elementary school — her report card was found in its basement.
The Eagle Ford School is in poor condition despite being made of concrete piers, concrete beams, and solid concrete walls cured between two layers of concrete bricks.
Although the building owner’s representative and a third-party engineer claimed that the building is beyond repair, Landmark Commission members didn’t see anything about its condition that’s beyond what they typically see.
