Speedwa School at 3107 North Grand Blvd St. Louis

It's a really interesting looking building. I did a Google search and could find passing mentions of it, but nothing about its history. It appears to have lost a little bit of cornice on the N. Grand side and it may not be in great shape.
The building is owned by an individual it appears

I realize that rehab chances may be slim. I certainly don't have the money to buy and rehab it. I was just wondering about it in general. The housing behind it looks bad and has a "keep out" sign on it.
Bing Maps shows a small newer building which was there, but has been torn down in the Google Street View shot. On Google cars are parked in that spot.

Bing also shows a brick building at the northwest corner of Herbert and Grand that has been recently torn down (though it was very deteriorated). Unfortunately the pretty building at the northeast corner of Grand and Herbert appears to be abandoned and has broken windows and some damage, though the roof looks okay on the satellite.
On a side note, it's good to see the YMCA at Sullivan and Grand is well-kept and in-use. There are some beautiful buildings in this area. I hope they can be preserved.
Just wondering if anybody knows anything about the Speedwa school.
