Seems I am coming across these left and right!
I actually first visited this one a while back, but at the time did not have a flashlight or any other gear that I deemed essential. So today I took Peptic's advice from 7-2-16:
Posted by Peptic Ulcer Go check out that school.

Today I revisited it and was able to get more than three steps inside. There were still a lot of spiders. But I only saw two stinging death flying bugs.
The original school was down the road a bit in the original settlement established in 1890. The school building pictured was built in 1920. In 1909 the railroads were routed, bypassing the community, most of the inhabitants moved to where the featured school is located. This place had many "You are not welcome" signs, and appears to have been turned into a house, so I just performed a quick stop and snap.

The school I focused on was originally a high school, but then served as an elementary school. A co worker of mine went to school there. I might try to get some information from him after the holidays. He did mention that it was reported to be haunted. I saw no ghosts.
Another thing that I saw very little of was evidence of vandals. There were a few broken windows, but I do not recall seeing any graffiti. One of the nicer places I have visited!

19. Part of the school now houses the volunteer fire department. This area was locked up, but I did not try too hard. The other buildings were locked up well.
