Once again Fall River is about to tear down a fine old building to make room for a parking lot.  The Morgan Street School, known as the N.B. Borden School more recently, was sold for a pitiful sum.  Last used in 2007 as a grammar school, there had been plans for the redundant building to be converted into a community center.  The layout inside would have been ideal for a city museum. Timetoast.com ran this article on its timeline about the sale of redundant schools in the city: ”

In February 2012, the city council delays sale on Belisle; awards bids for Osborn to SB&A Realty Group, Fall River, for $3,111 for professional building, and for N.B. Borden to TA Restaurant Inc., Fall River, for $5,000 for parking and possibly apartments. Council President Linda Pereira removes Pat Casey from RE Committee related to Belisle School controversy.
