[quote=Anonymous]Going back a aways -- the Burleith Assoc has a narrative history of the neighborhood up on their site - it has the caveat that this is written from a person's point of view - but the core facts of the timing matches up with our neighbor's experiences.  The junior high school at 35th & T was called the Gordon Jr High - and in the mid 1960s of the 800 students, there were about 1/2 white and 1/2 African American.  By the late 70s, there was a report that school enrollment dropped to 261 students & only 13 were white. and was closed around 1980.  
"Hardy" had been an elementary school (located where the Hardy park/playground and 'old Hardy school' which the Lab school currently leases) -- but around 1974 became a small middle school (grades 5-8) for Key/Mann/Hyde/Stoddert which all had low enrollments (Amy Carter attended).  It was at the Foxhall location until 1996. 
The building at 35th & T was used for an adult education center from around 1980-1996.
