Old Sch Sch A
lthough most people are eager to get out of school after they grow up, Josh and Molly Holbrook recently left their suburban home to move into an old school building in Malta, Illinois. Fittingly, the couple met while they were in high school together.
Couple Converts Former Malta Elementary Into Home and Restaurant
The Holbrooks purchased the former Malta Elementary School three years ago to be their family’s residence and have now converted part of it into a pop culture themed pizza parlor appropriately named, “Old School Pizza.” The unique restaurant, which is scheduled to open in the next month, features a huge collection of memorabilia, along with delicious casual food and games. Despite the fact that Josh Holbrook runs a lawn care service in Elgin and his wife, Molly, worked as a nurse, they had always wanted to open a family restaurant together.
