|  | | | Sudbury Mining and Technical School
After the First World War people felt that Canadians required more technical skills. This led the federal government to introduce the Technical Education Act in 1919. The act would permit the government to share up to 50% of provincial expenses towards technical education in the form of $10 million in grants over a 10-year period.
In Northern Ontario, the Sudbury Mining and Technical School was constructed and opened in the fall of 1921. It was built right next to Sudbury High School (Sept. 1909) and both schools were administered by the same principal. Rivalry between the two schools was intense until the amalgamation in the 1970's.
Although the government had increased the age to sixteen at which time a person could drop out of school, by 1924 the Sudbury Mining and Technical School had only a hundred students enrolled. Many of the young men enrolled would attend school during the day and work at one of the local mines during the afternoon.
By 1939 enrollment had increased to the point that the Sudbury High School board looked into a 12-room addition that would include a combination gymnasium and auditorium. The cost for the additions was estimated to be $175,000.
In 1952 a 600-seat auditorium was opened that was used by both the High and Tech students. Another addition was also added to the Sudbury Technical school.
In 1960 the Sudbury Mining and Technical School was renamed Sheridan Technical after Fred W. Sheridan, a longtime member of the Sudbury High School Board.
In 1974 Sudbury High and Sheridan Technical merged to become Sudbury Secondary School. The auditorium constructed in 1952 is still referred to as the Sheridan Auditorium.
In December, 2007, the School Board's Administrative Council recommended that the school undergo a renewal project. This project included more parking space and renovations to the auditorium. In the summer of 2011 renovations commenced on the auditorium and the former Sheridan Technical building was demolished.

The piano, band saws, yearbooks, lockers, etc. were all crushed under piles of brick and drywall to make way for parking. I don't imagine the Ethic Gods would have objected to removing one item destined for a land fill.
Highway 7 House
On a beautiful summer's day in 2011, I met up with fellow explorer Jerm IX in the lobby of my five star suite cheap Peterborough motel.
With a full tank of gas, we hit the open road for a full day of exploring. This location didn't offer much on the inside except for the obligatory peeling paint shots. The exterior however provided some titillating finds. Weeds advanced upon a derelict swimming pool with pungent water, a barn full of old possessions and a table set up as if to attract people to a yard sale for collectors of broken porcelain.
We were a little rushed as the day promised many places to visit so there isn't much to show you.

Wow I cant believe they would just leave the equipment in the building like that when the demolished it  Those band saws and that jointer looked decent and completely usable, seems really wasteful. Also, If they had sold the metal of the lockers for scrap, they probably could have made some money on that.. I mean its a lot of scrap metal there...
Doesn't make sense to me why they would destroy good equipment like that though.

Not bad considering five years of snow, rain, wind, and "oh this would look nice in our hutch" thieves have passed by. Some of the items are even in the same location.
