The dismantling of the Corcoran continues with the sale of the old Fillmore School building in Georgetown to the non-profit S&R Foundation, which plans to turn it into an incubator for the fine arts.

George Washington University took ownership of the building last summer as part of the deal which split the storied art museum and school. The money from the sale will go toward the estimated $80 million renovation of the Corcoran’s aging building on 17th Street.

The Fillmore School building was listed in January for $14 million, but the sale price wasn’t disclosed.

S&R said in a release that the building will “serve as a platform to grow talented artists in the fields of fine, visual and performing arts, maintaining the educational use of the building and its place as part of the vibrant arts landscape in the nation’s capital.” The non-profit also runs a social entrepreneurship incubator at Halycon House and hosts musical events at the Evermay Estate, both in Georgetown.
