YES! Thank you for the link! That is clever at Danvers State Hospital. Was impressed remember.
Of course it can/may be done - at high cost, of course, and requires Very Good Skills Re-Building + creative thinking solving the problems that arise under way.
Think there actully IS plenty of money around to do this /rightly/
- but how are Any Future Prospective Investors going to find out about this little brick gem with mosaic in St. Louis?????

Oh God I remember those uncomfortable desks

Yes precious light indeed, and chalkboards. I liked it, but dries out fingers very much. 40 years ago they were everywhere.

I was wondering about the holes in the safety glass also. I doubt those were done with rocks.

Unfirst?

Nonsense, I'm sure you diagram sentences in your head every day. NOT. I see the hideous 70's has infested this building with florescent lights and dropped ceilings. Now dropping ceilings. . .

What's the big metal box on the floor?

That looks like a huge classroom! I've never seen that many blackboards in one room.

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.

One can almost picture kids stomping up & down these to & from classes/sprinting down on the last day of school...
