Anyone who has known me knows I have a love of abandoned schools, and especially big American ones which are completely different to the ones found over here. I was given the opportunity to visit one recently with SwanStation and jumped at the chance although having not heard of the place before or seen any photos I didn't know what to expect.

This was typical of a small town high school, not massive by any means but certainly a grand place in it's day. It closed some time in the 1980s and has been sat slowly decaying ever since. The outside is home to many stray cats, which the local residents look after. They have provided the cats with a few carriers as shelter and put out food for them outside the exterior fence which is really nice of them. But the inside is where it gets funky...the sports hall has become a home to hundreds of pigeons, who all run around in the void between the suspended ceiling tiles and original ceiling. I've never seen or heard anything like it in my life!

Thanks for looking

Wow talk about a great find. Great pictures too. I only wish I had something near me similar to this.

This is amazing dude!

Nice! Old schools like this are among my absolute favorites.

Every fucking pixel is magnificent to the very atom. Great job, Mighty Mooks!

Another great set from you! I get excited when I see you've made a new thread.

LOVE me some schools, and those awesome hallways > 7 and 12.

Excellent shots of this place bud!! I'm glad we had time to squeeze this one in, it was a great end to a excellent weekend. Fuck the birds though, seriously.

Nice! Always great to see places without (too many) graffiti...
