Grant Terrace Apartment

Ulysses Simpson Grant Elementary School is a historic gem located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, originally built in 1914 to replace a school of the same name that had stood since 1876. Designed by renowned Des Moines architect John W. Trafzer and constructed by Buckler and Robertson, this Neoclassical building was the first new school in Oskaloosa in the 20th century. It was part of a broader initiative to rebuild and modernize the city's schools. In 1957, a multipurpose facility was added following the Mother's Crusade of 1956, which aimed to improve Oskaloosa’s educational infrastructure after World War II.

Today, this beautifully preserved building has been transformed into Grant Terrace Apartments, a perfect place to call home! Offering unique 1- and 2-bedroom floor plans, these charming apartments are available at very affordable prices for individuals with disabilities and those aged 55+. Living in this former school building, you’ll enjoy a blend of historic character and modern amenities. Come experience the comfort and charm of Grant Terrace Apartments!
