Looking through an abandoned school (photos). [View All]

[Drunken Irishman]

My old junior high closed this summer (:() and they're in the process of tearing it down. So a friend and me decided to check it out before it turned into a large pile of rumble.

I had expected to fight our way in, but to my surprise, a side door was open and we found easy access.

This done yesterday, so no construction workers were out.

My fear was running into transients or gangs, but no one -- outside of a figure I saw in a classroom window on the 2nd floor when I was in the gully -- was there.

We did find bullet casings throughout the school and there was a ton of gang graffiti, but other than that, it just looked ransacked.

Actually, the building looked abandoned longer than a summer.

So with all that said, here's the school. And I apologize for the quality, my camera phone kinda sucks.

The back, from the gully. In one of those 2nd floor windows, I swear I saw a figure looking down at us. Probably nothing, though.



The front of the school.



The basement hall.



A typical classroom, windows shot out, stuff thrown about.





This is where the front foyer was. Now rubble.



The main upstairs hall.



This is looking toward the auditorium. Here stood a few classrooms and the courtyard.



Inside the auditorium, which was extremely dark.





This part of the school was divided by the demolishing of the middle part. It was pretty creepy.

Next to the auditorium was a hall and a few classrooms. Here's where the music room was.



Another room:



There was a basement that I went into. Filled with water and genuinely creepy. Unfortunately, my friend wouldn't come down with me.



The side of the building we were just in:



An office...



This is where my locker stood.



Another hall...



Broken out windows.







THIS was pretty creepy...



One final look at the basement hall.



So there you go. It was fun looking through that school again.
