Charleston’s Chicora elementary school on its way to major renovations
At first glance, the brown brick facade of the Chicora Graded School is a faded piece of history in North Charleston’s Chicora-Cherokee neighborhood.
Broken glass windows line its hallways. Power cords drape from busted out ceilings. A rich musty smell fills old classrooms where chalkboards have been blank since the school closed in 2012.
But if local community developer Metanoia is successful, the building won’t look this way for long.
