Schools out for summer for many Milwaukee students. But move-in starts Saturday for a cohort of Milwaukee seniors.Gorman & Company executive Ted Matkom and partner developer Malik Cupid are ready to welcome the first residents into the redeveloped Edison Middle School, 5372 N. 37th St., in the Old North Milwaukee neighborhood.
The building has gone by many different names and has been part of two different school districts. It was built in 1924 as North Milwaukee High School for the then-separate Village of North Milwaukee. But by 1929, when the building’s first addition was completed, the village was annexed by the City of Milwaukee and it entered Milwaukee Public Schools. It was the original Custer High School and later Edison Junior High School. An addition was constructed in the 1960s. Last known as Edison Middle School, the complex has been vacant since it was closed in 2008.
