Teachers chairs sit collecting dust and the remnants of the last lessons taught cover the chalk boards at a long abandoned school house. As a parent, these types locations are very poignant to myself, I can imagine the corridors and classrooms filled with children, knowing that this place likely held some of the best memories of their childhood.

you know, if that had a solid foundation it would make a lovely loft living situation, i would fix it up and live there if it was worth it, beautiful shot
You’re right, the open space would make an amazing loft, the building has incredible light. But unfortunately the build is starting to crumble 🙁
as if it’s stuck in time
It very much is, I’m glad the vandals and taggers haven’t found their way in.
The blackboard message reads like a final message from the teacher to the students before school lets out for the summer, for the last time.
And amazingly it has stayed there for 30 years!
it’s like everyone decided to up and leave this place alone all at the same time, very nice!
Yup, apart from some building materials and hardware being dumped there, the place is largely untouched.
Fascinating composition Will. Like the mood that you captured here.
Thank you John!!

The first fight… The first embarrassment… The first kiss…
🙂
Indeed there are a lot of emotions going on at that age.
Excellent! I can still feel the atmosphere of this place. I can imagine how the children were sitting there and listening to the teacher (some did may be not listening :-))
Ces vieilles classes abandonnées ont toujours un effet extraordinaire, superbe boulot !
