- This massive untouched 1920s victorian abandoned high school was built around 1923 in a quaint village on the east coast of the united states. A new high school was built in 1959 and this property was used as a grade school until a new grade school was completed in the late 1970s leaving this property vacant. This school was forgotten over 40 years ago! Let's go on another urbex adventure!

The two oldest schools I went to, one built in the '20s and the other built in the '40s, had so much more charm and character than the newer schools I went to. Sadly, those older schools are long gone. The US has a bad habit of tearing down and replacing buildings before they get remotely old.
Excellent cinematography and dialogue. Makes the viewer feel like their on a walking discovery tour. Thanks again for another great vid bro. 👍👍🇭🇲
I would love to have seen this school in its prime, can only imagine how impressive and lovely it was. I truly enjoyed the tour and thank you for a job well done.
Thanks Shea! Absolutely. Think about all that detail that has been stripped away or deteriorated over the years.
What an awesome find! Such an old building so naturally decayed, without a lot of vandalism, is quite unusual; especially since judging from the traffic sounds, it is not off the beaten track. Abandoned bikes left behind is unusual too. Excellent video!
The “tiered” or elevated room was either a band or choir room, at least at our high school it was, and our old grade school, which looked a lot like this one, and was build in 1905 or thereabouts. My husband went to the same HS as I did and the middle school we went to was the old HS, his GPA graduated from there back in the 1940’s. Those were neat old schools, real sad they’re gone!!
Absolutely Carla. That makes a lot of sense. I’m just glad I got to visit one more before it gets reclaimed by nature.
Someone needs to salvage those cool old light fixtures
What is sad to me is to see books and musical instruments left behind
Yeah this place was weird that it doesn’t look like the building was ever re-purposed for anything and they left a huge amount of at one time valuable property like books and stuff. It’s hard to tell in the video but the ceilings were so tall and the place was really just larger than life.
Love what remains of the architecture. Wonderfully tall majestic ceilings. Don't see that much anymore. Great explore! 🙌
I agree Christine! Catchy we joke that a lot of newer schools look like prisons compared to the ones a century ago. Thanks for the love!
I enjoyed the explore! The pigeons are pissed as you’re in their territory 😂. New subscriber! Thank you 😊
My high school was built in the 1920's and had one tiered classroom, which was the music room. It didn't have desks because that wouldn't have been very helpful for practicing our instruments, but my vote is still a music room. The large closet on the side could've stored instruments (ours had one too) and when the students were practicing, they could've stood in the front row or at the bottom. Or there wasn't a band, just a chorus and/or a music class. I think I remember our music teacher saying that the tiers were better for acoustics, but it's been a while so I could be wrong.
Nice video! When I was a kid, we called those bikes Banana Bikes. Because of the seat shape! They were very popular !
Another awesome explore! My 17 year old HFA enjoys your videos too. 😊♥️ It was so nice of you to not want to keep disturbing those birds trying to get out! Love your passion when doing these explores. Looking forward to the next one!
Should be turned into a community centre honestly
I guess the birds got their feathers ruffled when they whent inside to explore lol
That stage would make a great place to film a music video.
That schwinn is actually a decent bike!
Reminds me of my old elementary scool. Built in 1918 and closed in mid 80's. It still stands and is maintained by some guy who lives in it. If I hit the lottery I offer him a price he couldn't refuse and live in it plus make it a Community Center/Hall for events. Huge kitchen for catering as well! So many possibilities.
That ape hanger bike is from about 1968
They should have an arrow pointing downstairs that says Permanent Records. 😂
This was a really great explore. Thanks for the video.
Another great explore!
Great video! :D
Great tour of another era!!
This school was incredible!! So many cool things...on top of the bird poop. Lol. The seat on the bike with the long handlebars is called a “banana seat”. Very popular in the late 60’s to early 70’s. I know you said it would be getting dark, but for future reference it would be nice if you could pan around an entire room slowly so we can see what you see. Plus it would be nice if you could stop a little longer on things like old door knobs, woodwork and doors, books, old chairs and furniture, ect. ect. Would have been nice to see the dates on some of the books. The skylight and the entrance where the ceiling angles came together were beautiful. I can’t imagine attending such a beautiful school. Thanks for this awesome video! Stay safe!! 😊
Thanks Tara. I get that request a lot and I know I need to do it but it seems like all of my photo manners go out the window in the heat of the moment. I was hoping people would like this video and that I could do the place justice because it was just such an amazing spot. What are these days I’ll make a trip back out there and get some more details!
Sounds great!
I agree with Amber Dawn on the "elevated room" being a band or choir room, particularly (at least in your video) since that room was so close to the auditorium and stage. I went to several schools like this in Ohio and our choir and band rooms had these bleacher like areas. Older buildings in Dayton, Xenia, and Jamestown still have these. You can see them in the movie "Mr. Holland's Opus."
I never thought of that! It does make sense though. At the time they were just kind of weird because of their location.
This is actually in pretty good shape for a place that's been abandoned for over 40 years. Compare it to Grand Prairie School abandoned in 1990 and most of the upstairs floor had literally collapsed after less than 30 years abandoned. This place it seems that 90% of the floors are semi-stable, at least. The gym in particular is holding up remarkably well, looks like it was abandoned only 10 years ago! Seems to have been very well built, 40+ years exposed to the elements will mess any building up.
Also, at 17:17 - I don't like graffiti either but a specimen that's older than I am, wow.

Great vids! I love exploring abandoned places too.
I am curious why the title says "untouched" when clearly there's been vandalism.
The room with levels and desks looks like a lecture hall we had when I was in school in the '60s. Our also doubled as a study hall.
A wonderful explore of a cool natural decayed school. The auditorium seats so awesome. Great job, thanks! SW Florida 🇺🇸
Thanks Reba. I would trade you about now. Ohio is getting awfully cold 🥶
@@OnceOccupied l know Ohio cold! But it is a beautiful state. Stay warm, stay safe my friend.
Amazing video and history
Thanks 🙏🏼
At 15:43 - 15:46 These are for leg stretches. You keep one foot on the ground and you place the other as high on the round beams as you can.
Finally! Mike I never knew what those were for and I keep seeing them I just saw some more this weekend. Thank you!
In my school they were also for gymnastics/climbing in PE. We had ones that pulled out from the wall and could have various attachments. images.app.goo.gl/vp4N3FX8y8gsULwD9
Ps I went to school in Scotland in the 90s and early 2000s.
Puts me in the mind of the old movie Birds or it might have been The birds it was a horror movie by Alfred Hichcock
Geez, Looks like its been abandon for Way More then 40 years...wow..Stay Safe..
Noooo all those books! Why weren't they saved???
Mold, probably. I went to a high school that was built in the 20's and there was a closet in the hallway that was always locked. One day it was unlocked, so I opened it and found it was piled floor to ceiling with moldy textbooks. It wasn't the only closet full of moldy books.
They just don't make them like they used to.
I swear the narrator sounds like one of the guys from "#THEPROPERPEOPLE" Lol! Awesome vid!! I do realize it is you but your voice just sounds really close to one of them.
@Chris CHRISPY Piceynski CRITTER - I think it sounds like Michael from #TheProperPeople!! I never noticed that before.
@@taralewis2606 YES! Ok, I'm glad someone else hears what I hear so at least I'm not the only one. Lol!
Thanks Chris! I took that as a compliment because I love their videos. I’ve never explored with them but I’ve heard they’re good guys in real life also so maybe one of these days we can collaborate. Glad you enjoyed it!
enjoyed
Thanks 🙏🏼
Its so nice to see. I explore to but in europe the architecture is so different then in Us
I do love going to Europe and exploring because everything is so much older but it’s hard for me to be nostalgic about things in Europe because I don’t recognize a lot of the brands in popular culture from the years past because I’m from the US.
So I assume class isn't in session any more lol
It's for da birds lol
The victorian period is from the 1840s to the early 1900s.
They don't make schools like that anymore!! Great architecture!! That school is amazing!!
Wood dowel rods on the wall in the gymnasium or for exercise I don’t remember what kind but I seen them in a Marx brothers movie. Excellent video
It’s too bad that they don’t work after the building closed anyone that wants to come in and salvage the doors etc. and re-purpose that’s the way I built my home too bad they don’t do it more often
Love the content, but the spinning of the camera back and forth is a little rough to watch. :)
Bruh I would KILL for some of those doors #_#
...so did you find a bobblehead...or at least a nuka cola quantum?
Did you take some of the stuff cause it might be worth money
No we never ever take anything.
That just too bad that people have to write on things to mess things up just to sad
Awesome find, those bikes were bitchin, wonder why they were left there, be careful not to breath in bird shit, it can make you very ill!
I am enjoying your video I just hope that you were wearing gloves touching all them things
This is a small school
Is this is Missouri? If so message me with an address please.
Sorry we don’t share locations in order to protect them. It is on the East Coast and nowhere near Missouri.
No Chris courtwright he said east coast
Edwardian... Sorry.
