The former Fairport School site — at 1952 Fairport Ave., just north of Kings Highway — will be sold for $27,500 to William C. Roberts II, according to DPS documents.
Both school buildings were closed and demolished as part of Dayton Public Schools’ new construction program that ran from 2005 to 2012.
Twelve other DPS-owned pieces of land are also up for online auction through 11 a.m. Oct. 16, at OhioRealEstateAuctions.com. The properties range from 2 to 16 acres and include parcels on North Main Street, Philadelphia Drive, North Gettysburg Avenue, Homewood Avenue and the intersection of Burkhardt and Wright.
In recent years, DPS has tried to decrease the amount of vacant property it has to maintain.
