I dunno, I think it could be restored if it's viable for someone. When you see gut jobs like Danvers State Hospital ( https://upload.wikimed...State_demolition.JPG ) all that's left of the original structure is the facade and the foundation, which seem pretty solid on this building.

Yes there were stairs that led down and out an entrance on the West side of the building, where some pieces of plywood were leaning up against the door.

The Historic picture really shows how nice this place was. I like the little fence along the property line.

I'd love to have & restore that desk.

This perspective makes it appear you are on a listing ship, Motts & the door hanging open like that helps with that feeling.

Nice vintage exit sign there, also a light too. Mica, there is a light for you.

Such a nice looking building.

Makes me want to run down it.

When I was a kid in Jersey I noticed that Sumac was always the first plant to pop up on any newly cleared spot. We called it poison sumac. It was only as an adult that I learned there are edible forms of the plant that are used for food and many other things.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumac
Some species formerly recognized in Rhus, such as poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans, syn.Rhus toxicodendron), poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum, syn. Rhus diversiloba) and poison sumac (Toxicodendron vernix, syn. Rhus vernix), have the allergen urushiol and can cause severe allergic reactions. Poison sumac may be identified by its white drupes, which are quite different from the red drupes of true Rhus species.

How you find all these places is so astounding + hard work. Fun.
As compliment to fine pictures, Google Earth has 3D, clearly see roof so gone now, full of holes, and Street View; lots of trees growing up there....
Sadness also

Put a door in the left wall at the front corner and a set of built in cabinets with glass doors on the right side that also turned along the back wall and this is the classroom in which I was attacked and parlyzed, in school #10.

tipsy

You've got to admire the craftsmanship put into buildings back then.
Now everything seems to be cold hard concrete, steel and glass.

These seem to be very narrow hallways for a school. Must have been pretty crowded when classes let out!
