This weekend myself and two friends decided to go out and have a good photo session with our cars since the weather was flawless. The previous weekend we had found an old abandon high school about 10 minutes outside of town where my good friend had just moved too. So naturally we had to go back. Of course pictures of the cars were quickly overshadowed by the realization that there was a way into the building. What’s remaining of Charlottesville high school, built in 1936 is falling apart. The building has been on fire before and been empty since 1969 when the last year of school was ever held there. At one point there was an attempt at someone turning the huge building into an apartment complex, but either funds ran out, or they discovered the building was much worse than they anticipated.
We spent about 20 minutes inside and explored the bottom and second floor, some of the second floor rooms had already collapsed and fallen so we definitely had to tread lightly. It’s definitely just one of those breathtaking things to see all the history and old things that have been left behind. I snapped quite a few pictures with my Nikon and just left them in their original state to capture the true state of everything inside. We plan to hopefully go back in the future and explore the rest of the building as we’ve only covered about a quarter of it.
