Seminary to renovate Dudley Square building in Boston.
Byline: Thomas C. Palmer Jr.
Jan. 4--Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary's Boston campus plans to expand and move to a historic building in Dudley Square by early next year, executives said yesterday.
The multidenominational Christian graduate school, with headquarters in Hamilton and a Boston presence since 1976, will renovate and occupy what is known in the neighborhood as the WILD building, they said.
The 24,000-square-foot structure formerly housed WILD-AM, a radio station popular since the early 1970s in the black community.
The move to Dudley Square in Roxbury is one of a number of pending improvements in an area that has lagged as other Boston neighborhoods have thrived. City and state workers may soon be moved into the Ferdinand Building, which Mayor Thomas M. Menino last month said the city will redevelop.
Meanwhile, the old Dartmouth Hotel is nearly renovated for use as housing and shops. And the MBTA's Silver Line bus service from Dudley Square to downtown has increased access for residents of the area and for those who might find jobs in Roxbury.
Since the early 1980s, Gordon-Conwell has used a 5,000-square-foot Victorian building on South Huntington Avenue in Jamaica Plain, which along with a carriage house on the 15,000-square-foot site is now going on the market for an asking price of $1.5 million.
