Pleasant Street School Apartments/Affordable Senior Housing

The Pleasant Street School is a historic school building on Pleasant Street in Ayer, Massachusetts. It is a 2-1/2 story Colonial Revival building, with a hip roof pierced by wide gabled dormers with bands of small windows. It was constructed in 1893 to a design by Boston architect Charles E. Parks, and is one of the oldest school buildings in the town. It was enlarged in 1906, doubling it in size. It served as a public school until 1984.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

CPC funds assisted in 2007 for work to restore and preserve the Pleasant Street School and by working with the Ayer Elder Housing Partnership, CPC funds were used to support the creation of affordable apartments.  There are now 22 senior apartment units within this historical building.  Total CPA Funds were $100,000.
