Mildred Fox School Apartments

Renovation of the old Mildred Fox School into 12 units of elderly housing

Originally built in 1883 as the Oxford Normal Institute and expanded significantly in 1940 as “The Brick School”, the school was renamed in 1967 to honor longtime principal Mildred M. Fox. The last public-school students attended Fox School in 2008, though the building was used by a Christian academy for approximately eight years following the public-school closure.

Portland Builders has partnered with Avesta Housing and Archetype to bring this community landmark back to life with 12 units of affordable housing for seniors in the region. We hope that many of the new residents will call home to the same building that they once sat at desks in.
