I love brick buildings, especially houses. Or even better, stone. A nice stone house with a big stone fireplace has always been my dream home. Instead I'm in a dumpy apartment!
We have a school similar to this one in our city. It's larger because it originally was a high school. My sister went there for a short time. I'll never forget the one time I went there for some reason, the inside hallways were curved and it freaked me out. Did not like that at all.
If that is a heating duct in the upper left-hand corner, they must have had one heck of a heating plant. Probably coal at first!
Are you sure that isn't a Triffid that will uproot itself and come after you?
I had a comment all set until I read flushed's comment. OMG, was that a random attack or was it a fight gone horribly wrong?
I hated English in the 7th grade, mostly because we had a witch for a teacher. I'll never forget her, she always wrote with a pink Flair pen. I can talk about her because she's probably dead by now, but she didn't take any crap from anyone, especially the kids. She slapped one girl across the face in front of the entire class just for being sassy. If she did that today, no doubt they'd cart her ass away to jail. The thing I didn't "get" about English was diagramming sentences. That seemed pretty pointless to me.
That exit sign is cool. I would like that.
I don't stop here for one day and look, I missed a new gallery!! I had a good excuse though, I left work and went home sick. Anywho, this was when blackboards were black, before they turned green! God, I hated those green boards!
Long Live Disco! Wish it could be 1978 forever!
and not a dump in sight!
I guess over the years you learn to be extremely observant doing this. My luck I'd trip some alarm and be hauled away for trespassing!
The dark color of the wood makes me wonder what kind it was. Mahogany? Walnut? Back then they used the exotic hardwoods more than we do now which is one reason this stuff should be saved and reused.
It would be so cool to track down some photos of this place when in use as a residence, maybe one from this very angle - then compare the two.
Thanks Dark-Star!
This looks like such a cool place to just sit and pass the time of day!
