The 1957 school wasn’t the only building on the lot. It was actually fairly common for lightly built extensions to be added to the lots of rural schools in the 1960’s, when smaller schools started to close.
And such an addition was done even here. According to old maps there has even been a new row house built for teachers back then.
Looks like an old computer screen.
And this looks like a complete mess.
Not only does it look like it. It is a complete mess.
Is that a dentist’s chair?
Another room, but the mess just goes on.
A vertical version of the same view.
I wonder, what all this stuff has been here for.
The room was also surprisingly large. Much larger than ordinary classrooms.
An old photo of the kid, looks like the late 1990’s. I’ve blurred the face, but maybe somebody recognizes themselves.
I stand corrected. Three nights to Christmas, 2002.
The room in the other end of the barrack. It was an even worse mess.
The amount of clothes was amazing. The box says summer hats.
Well they don’t look like summer hats.
And what is that cage?
The pile of clothes was even higher in the following room. None of that is useful anymore.
Just look at the pattern of that clothing item.
The mess just continues.
This room was just full of all kinds of clothes.
As the windows had been broken, the mess now has started flowing outside.
The final views from this part of the school.
The old main school was seriously damaged by fire in the spring of 2024. As there probably was no electricity, the reason was probably arson.
According to terrain maps, there is no longer a building on that spot. I’ll have to wait for next summer’s aerial photos to see, if the ruins really have been demolished. This newer addition still seems to stand, though.
