 Overview
 Description
A defunct elementary school sits on a neglected lot in south east Wisconsin. Several occupants utilized the facility up until it's final demise. Somewhere above tiny and well below massive, it's size certainly provided a few hours worth of adventure.

  •  Hazards
  • asbestos
  • rust
  • flooding
  • air quality
  • lots of standing water, plenty of traffic, somewhat easy to be spotted, mystery truck parks out back a lot
  •  Interesting Features
    A pretty standard school with some items left behind. Somewhat sprawled out floor plan makes it more adventurous than it looks. Two levels of class rooms. Books, computer stuff, an organ, etc... The science supply closet still full of stuff was kinda cool too.

    As of 2020 most of this stuff is now gone, replaced with a massive amount of mostly poor quality graffiti. Looks like the local kids have been getting inside.

    Prospect Elementary was razed in 2021. A new building stands in its place, a physical therapy center and indoor sports complex run by the Orthopaedic Association of Wisconsin

     History
    Leaks in the roof and the need to remove asbestos have driven repairs into the 6 figure range. Therefore the building has been allowed to deteriorate to the point that it is now unfit for human occupancy. I believe the school closed in approximately 2007 after it was declared unsuitable as a school. Before the closure, a church had been renting space in the building. They were allowed to continue renting after the closure-pretty shady on behalf of the township. After the closure, some guy rented and it ultimately became his 4th failed attempt to start a military academy. Unfortunately, no military relics were found on my visit. This township has commonly been considered as a slumlord in their dealings with the school system and the handling of this building particularly. Talks of razing the property began in about 2010 and still it stands.
