We're supposed to be social distancing, right? This is about as distant as it gets. Yesterday, I revisited an abandoned rural school that I've posted before. I also found a little burned-out house that I ended up enjoying more than I thought I would.
1. I think one of the reasons why I enjoy this school so much is because it's so isolated. There is absolutely nothing around it except farms.

2. For such a rural area, it's a fairly large school. There is a gymnasium building behind the original structure, a double-octagonal addition on the end, and a weird little connecting building.

3. Out back are two other unconnected buildings. Also, I wish people would stop setting stuff on fire here.

4. For being so rural, the graffiti here is unbelievable. Most of the building is covered in it. Most of it is of the vulgar, uninspired variety.

6. The auditorium lies between the gym and classroom side. Somebody set it on fire in 2013.

9. I don't know how they got this desk to hang there but they did.

14. I really like the thick vines on the iron fence. This house was built in 1905. It had three bedrooms, not that you would know since the second floor is almost completely burned away. It burned sometime between 2015 and 2018. On Google StreetView archives, it appears occupied before it burned.

15. Because of everything left behind, including decorations and furniture, and that it never appears abandoned on StreetView, I think this house was actually occupied when it burned. I can't find any articles online about the fire.
