PR Mallory
3029 E Washington Street and 101 S Parker Avenue
In 1920, General Electric built a factory that P.R. Mallory Maolloy and Company later purchased and operated out of from 1929 – 1979. Once the factory closed the building stood under-utilized for nearly 40 vacant for 30 years until Englewood CDC,the John Boner Neighborhood Center, and other partners revitalized the complex. Several buildings at the center of the complex were demolished but the original 1921 factory building and smokestack remained. Englewood CDC and the John Boner Neighborhood Centers are co-owners of purchased the complex and alongside a number of community development partners embarked on an ambitious revitalization.
Today the complex houses two public charter schools, Paramount Englewood School of Excellence and Purdue Polytechnic High School along with additional businesses that contribute to the vitality of the Near Eastside like Uplift Produce.
The rehabilitation of the P.R. Mallory Company Factory complex was an ambitious project to the tune of $38 million. The project received Indiana Landmarks’ 2021 Cook Cup for Outstanding Restoration.
