Construction on Emerson Garden Apartment complex nearly finished

QUINCY, Ill. (WGEM) - Quincy residents looking to find an apartment will soon have another option.

Work to transform the former Emerson School building into a high-end apartment complex is nearly finished.

Crews are hard at work putting the finishing touches on the new Emerson Garden Apartments complex at 1310 Washington Street in Quincy. Co-owner Richard Powell says he took on the project not only to provide additional renting options to residents, but also to preserve the original brick work and history of the old school building.

"Any time you can save a building such as this built in 1900, it's got a lot of character to it and a lot of things that we find here in the building has history and we like that part of it that we can save some," Powell said.

Powell says the eight unit facility has both two and three bedroom options. Rent ranges from $800 to $1095. The apartment complex is set to open in mid-August. To find out more about renting a unit, call 217-209-0926
