A Day After Part III

Back when drinking with the nice middle aged couple the previous evening, they told me that the former nursing school of the town had been abandoned and vandalized for some time.

They gave me good instructions, and it wasn’t exactly difficult to find the place.

The building was completed in two parts, the first one in 1981 and the second one in 1993. This is the newer part.

The school moved elsewhere in 2017. A new detail plan was approved just a month before this visit. It allowed the demolition of the old school and the construction of apartments.

So the me versus bulldozer race has again started. Let’s see, who makes it first this time.

There were lots of visible signs of vandalism.

There were even balconies. Quite something for a school.

Reaching the older part. The main entrance is to the right.

And there it is. I’ve removed some names of the institution, which has functioned here.

This must be the original 1980’s part. Can’t say they look too different, really.

And that must be the original main entrance.

If I had to guess, that one is the original classroom wing, while there’s a big lobby and a gym in the end.

The original part of the structure is visible in this picture.

And indeed judging by the windows this is a gym wing.

There was even a small building at the back. Probably the caretaker’s apartment. That would be customary to the era.

The back of the complex. Unfortunately no entry. The theme of this summer.
