The former Mercy High School in the Lakeside neighborhood wears a heavy, fortress-like brick facade topped by a distinctive, sweeping clay tile roof. For sixty-eight years, this building operated as an all-girls Catholic school operated by the Sisters of Mercy. When the school closed in twenty-twenty, the hallways that once held over four hundred students emptied, leaving behind a quiet structure that remains a subject of ongoing debate regarding its future as a potential site for new housing developments.
