LEXINGTON—The Lovell building and surrounding 4.39 acres of land is in preliminary agreement to be sold. The city has approved a Letter of Intent with Dominium Acquisition, LLC, which intends to build a 184-unit senior living apartment complex. The project is anticipated to have one story of below grade parking and four stories of above ground apartments and common areas. The purchase price of the land is $200,000 with an additional $80,000 for park dedication fees. Dominium Acquisition, located in Plymouth, hopes to close on the property by Oct. 31, 2018. Demolition of the former school will begin immediately after closing. Centennial Schools’ website states the Lovell building served as a school beginning in 1949 as a three-room building, which was added onto over the years. An additional eight rooms were added in 1952 and in 1955, another thirteen. A kitchen, cafetorium and library were built in 1960. Golden Lake Elementary was constructed in 1972, joining Centerville and Centennial Elementaries already in the district. Lovell Elementary was closed in1982 due to the costs of needed repairs and declining enrollment. SEE LOVELL BUILDING, PAGE 10
