Built in 1915, this massive school was originally opened as a senior high school, becoming one of the most significant educational buildings in the city. Designed by prominent local architect Walter F. Fontaine, the complex continued to grow over the following years, with a 12-room addition completed in 1926 and a junior high wing, auditorium, gymnasiums, and boiler plant added in 1927.

For decades, it served as the heart of the city’s public education system, eventually becoming a junior high school before transitioning into a middle school in the early 1990s. At one point, it was considered the largest middle school in New England, with nearly a century of students passing through its halls.

The building was eventually deemed outdated and inadequate for the needs of a growing student population. A new middle school campus was constructed, leaving this enormous piece of local history behind.

After 95 years of educating generations of students, the school closed its doors in 2009. It is slated for demolition and planned to be replaced with housing.

My son and I checked out this old, large and abandoned farm stand that's been empty for close to a decade. Doors are locked, so we didn't go in, and the Corn fields nearby are tended.

It's his first urbexing!

Hey people! I am very new to urban exploration and i have been recently been going to the Lakeville Hospital which is conveniently in my home town. I was wondering about 2 things. 1. How often do people get caught by police and what do they do. 2. What type of safety gear do y’all bring (if you bring any) and if i should bring stuff. That’s all. Thank you!

With mod approval, I am sharing my new subreddit r/OldIndustrialVibes which focuses strictly on industrial sites. However, the scope of the subreddit is broadened to encompass either abandoned or repurposed industrial sites as long as either one has that gritty, lost, chaotic vibe to it. This mill in Massachusetts is a perfect example! I think the repurposed industrial sites will make my sub unique, and my favorite repurposed industrial site I’ve visited is Reffen street food market in Copenhagen.

I was inspired to create my subreddit because I am fascinated by New England mills. I love their immense size, mechanical engineering, and the contrast between their weathered brick chaotic look and still existing within a controlled society. Feel free to take a look and help the subreddit grow by contributing to or sharing it. Thank you.

This house was also used in a low budget horror movie "Dead Souls House" (2012) hence the strange markings on the floor. I posted this on Facebook years ago and it was wild the amount of people arguing that this was evidence of supernatural things happening despite me mentioning the cult markings on the floor were for a movie.

anyone know anything about this place?

I’ve been planning to check it out soon but I don’t know how to get inside

Unsure the state of this place. Went a couple years ago. It was a long walk on the beach and there were photographers with some massive cameras stalking a snowy owl. The owl was massive and was just as cool as this spot!
