The third floor side corridor was one of the final corners of the school still left to explore. A lonely ski boot. A further classroom. I wonder, what has been on the shelves. The poor piano. Another classroom with broken windows. Once again everything even close to loose had been ripped off. Another one ofContinue reading “This Screams Abandonment Part IV”

This Screams Abandonment Part II
This seems to be the main lobby of the school. This was also, where the entrance from the street level was to. Young love, it seems. Another small room. I’m still a bit puzzled about their purpose. It seems that I have reched the end of the corridor. I’m still not any wiser about whereContinue reading “This Screams Abandonment Part II”
This Screams Abandonment Part I
While sitting in my car Googling, which of the buildings would go first to, I found an article about the closure of the schools in the area. It mentioned one further school, which I previously was unaware about. The school had been built in the 1960’s and closed in 2012. In 2013 it was announced,Continue reading “This Screams Abandonment Part I”
I Said That The List Gets Longer
Same city, another school. I’ve removed its name in order to try to protect it. Originally this was the main building of a teacher seminar and was built in 1950. It last served as an elementary school until 2015, when the pupils were moved out because of air quality problems. The heating is still on,Continue reading “I Said That The List Gets Longer”
The Demolition List Gets Longer And Longer
The next familiar location. This old elementary school has been abandoned since at least the 2010’s. It has been on the demolition list of the town for years, but there’s so much to demolish, that it has stayed up. Despite being abandoned for so long, there hasn’t been much vandalism. I think the building isContinue reading “The Demolition List Gets Longer And Longer”
A Tip From A Friend Part IV
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 newContinue reading “A Tip From A Friend Part IV”
A Tip From A Friend Part III
Entering the second apartment. There was even a toilet here. The living room. Another room. And the following one. Interestingly enough they formed a chain. Back in the previous room. I am once again very satisfied with this picture. The kitchen. This one was also pretty much in its original 1950’s shape. Cracks have startedContinue reading “A Tip From A Friend Part III”
A Tip From A Friend Part II
So the basement featured a small corridor. Let’s see, what’s behind that door. Another classroom it is. It looks like a jungle gym has been on the wall. This must be the former gym of the school. But there also seems to have been a blackboard. So this room has served several purposes. This looksContinue reading “A Tip From A Friend Part II”
A Tip From A Friend Part I
So here I am at the school, which was tipped by a friend. It seems to have turned into a garbage dump. The school was closed in 2005. The lot is actually for sale, and the building’s condition is listed as good. I would like to disagree. I mean, if the condition was good, I’dContinue reading “A Tip From A Friend Part I”
The Northernmost Point Part II
And inside I am. this is the former lobby of the school and the living room of the hostel. And one of the former classrooms. Which has also served as a gym, it seems. Drawings of an apartment. Apparently it is the teachers’ apartment upstairs. At least the window layout hints at that. The secondContinue reading “The Northernmost Point Part II”
