A little bit of clean-up
On my last proofing-readthrough I found a few minor items that need to be corrected/adjusted. As soon as these are taken care of I will be able to finish up my Review. Lead:

The meaning is slightly muddled here I think, perhaps the sentence could be recrafted to:
 * Built in 1925, the Tudor Revival style school building served white high school students of Hopewell until 1967 when a new racially integrated facility was built and it was converted into a middle school.
 * Built in 1925, the Tudor Revival style school building served white high school students of Hopewell until 1967 when a new racially integrated facility was built and the former high school was converted into a middle school.

Restoration:
 * The Home Economics Cottage and Science and Library Building now serve as offices for the Hopewell School Board. - is a little but muddied I think just adding a "the" will be clearer so maybe The Home Economics Cottage and the Science and Library Building now serve as offices for the Hopewell School Board.
 * Many of the 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments feature - yeah, here comes the Oxford comma - Many of the 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments feature

Hopewell High School Building:
 * Above these doors are transom with divided lights. - the nouns need to agree with each other - Above these doors are transoms with divided lights.
 * A two-story, concrete and brick shop, built in 1935, is an addition on the rear of the school building. - could this maybe be rephrased? maybe something like - In the rear of the main school building is the two-story shop, a concrete and brick addition built in 1935.

Science and Library Building:
 * The projecting one-story entrance, featuring four-bay store front windows with transom and a pair of full light doors with transom, is covered by a flat aluminum roof. - Ok maybe I am wrong about plural/singular agreement with between windowS/transom... if you can show me that this is accepted architectural word-usage I'm fine with that so let's discuss.

 * - Thanks for the suggestions. I re-read the transom(s) sentences several times and I think you're correct. Since the sentence is referring to more than one window, then it's transoms. APK whisper in my ear  03:37, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
