So dang CLEAN! It's a shame it was torn down.

I HATED elementary school......High school was only a bit better....until I hit my senior year....I was 18 in January of 79. Oh, the drinking age was 18 then...

Nice staircase! Love the perspective and the colors!

The funny thing is that when you look at the photo called "Array" and see the steps down.

I think we can count the IQ of the person who did all that on one hand and still have fingers left over. "Stupid people be stupid," as my grandmother liked to say.

Nothing in my old grammar school looked that nice. I'm kind of jealous that it didn't.

Gorgeous. I love all the detail around the stage itself, including that doodad at the top in the middle.

Oh, I loved high school and rather hated grammar school. At least high school challenged me academically. When you're reading at a 5th grade level in 2nd grade, you get bored easily.

A new gallery! I love the blues they used on the walls and trim here. In its heyday, I bet it looked very calming and peaceful, even if the students might have been anything but. LOL

Hug me, baby, with old-school beauty always FTW; care taken with every little detail. Yes to enjoy

Ohhh...what a view to a seat! Guess the Bessemer youngster pretty proper decent after all; not like the other KKK-scribbling what-nots, to leave this be.

Mr. Motts was this gym built later, between two existing buildings? There was such great emphasis on the auditorium. The gym does not appear to have electric lights for night games or bleachers for spectators? Great photo. I am saddened by the "hate" graffiti.

Thanks for the close-up shot. Really love this design.

Don't think i have ever seen an auditorium in a school quite like this. Unique and most interesting.

I just LIKE that tree! Looks lonesome as does the swing. All the kids are gone now.
