BRANDON — The old Brandon High School got another chance at life late last month when new owners snapped up the 96-year-old building for a paltry $20,000.
Sunny skies and warm temperatures greeted the roughly 20 people who attended the June 28 bank foreclosure auction on West Seminary Street, handled by Thomas Hirchak Company. Curious local residents outnumbered potential bidders 10 to one as the bidding got under way following a one-hour registration and inspection period of the gutted, three-story brick building.
