310 E. James Street
Last week District 220 posted:
“In his Superintendent’s Report at the Jan. 23 Board meeting, Dr. Winkelman shared that Barrington 220 has sold its former district office located at 310 E. James Street. The property was purchased by a daycare provider called The Nest Schools.
The district moved into the location on James Street in the early 1970s. At the end of the 2018-19 school year, Barrington 220 moved into its current location at 515 West Main Street, right across from Barrington High School.”
On September 4, 2019, we posted, “District 220’s former headquarters going up for sale,” and the District planned to auction the property to the highest bidder. The minimum bid was set at $900,000. There were no takers.
Since then, there were two more attempts to auction the property (“Former Barrington School District 220 admin building up for sale, for the third time. Sealed bids being accepted.”). Still no sale.
We found the most recent listing price for the property at $750,000, and it sold for $695,000, which is not half shabby considering it was on the market for over four years.
A press release states, “The Nest School-Barrington will serve approximately 200 children, ages 6 weeks to 12 years, and will create 40 new jobs in the community.” Opening this Summer, this will be their second school in Illinois.
