Decaying School Closed In 1971

With only an hour to kill and not wanting to miss the glorious evening sky earlier tonight here in Niagara Falls, I ended up at this location. We have a very fortunate situation in Niagara where an elementary school that closed in 1971 was used as storage by a farmer, packing it wall to wall with goods and leaving it virtually impossible to enter for decades. In the last two years, it has all been cleaned out, leaving behind a rare chance to explore it as if the school was left to decay in an overgrown field for 52 years. I upgraded my camera shortly after my first visit here two years ago, and regretted not going back for higher quality photos. Hopefully I succeeded tonight!

My type of exploration right here. Love this and these pictures. Sad to see all of that graffiti, just the type of location where it would be so much better without.

Nothing left but bones, yet you're able to get so much out of it in your pics. Awesome work!

Also, I always have to remind myself that the 70s are 50 years ago and not 30.

The exterior shots combined with the evening sky are absolutely incredible. Makes me want to try exploring during an evening like that some time.
