832 Comments for The Ladd School

i've been up those stairs...you just feel like you're being watched in the entire building it's creepy.

they also thought that sun light helped cure tuberculosis....

they also buried the bodies in the ladd school cemetery. the stones only have names on them. a few do have a year but most dont. also all the stones are made of cement and they look kinda creepy during the day. i cant wait to see them at night!!!!

Several have commented at the oddity that is a "closing" plaque. This is in Rhode Island. As a resident here, practically *every*thing needs a plaque or tag to put the "names" up of those responsible for the good work, be it a new construction, or a tear down/decommission.

I actually live in Exeter and its sad the number of kids who go here just looking for trouble. I am way too scared to go at night but kids go in to do drugs, get drunk, and just destroy the place. It is a lovely place but I wish you got a picture of the pool, that is truly a scary place to go. Even in the daytime...

it`s agreat !!

i've been on the roof, its so high up, its scary lol.

Tagging up an old morgue is just whistling past the graveyard. There's a drawer waiting somewhere for that tagger, for that very special day.

That's oddly melancholy.

Wow, nice shot.

I'm curious as to what brian ferreira thinks this is, if not a morgue.

That's a big soap dispenser on the right wall there.

These are vastly better than the showers at my own old high school (built circa 1956). One huge tiled room with eight showerheads jutting out of each long wall. No dividers or curtains.

Adolescent hell.

This building has an un-nerving look about. There is something sinister and scary about this building. I am not sure just what it is.......
I get this feeling that there was once a secret governmental department that had an evil plan to do something ? And just what that evil something was, I do not know.............

Well, that was my very first initial thought when I looked at this photograph.
