  • Opening it’s doors in 1918, this junior college was built for the many people that were quickly moving into the surrounding area. Many jobs were being offered in close proximity to the campus’s location, and enrollment expectations were high. Over the next decade, expansions and additions were added to the building in order to accommodate the quickly increasing attendance rate that the booming economy was creating. Though these numbers didn’t last long. In the aftermath of the great depression of the 1930’s, enrollment dropped significantly, and lack of adequate space almost caused the school to shut down. Despite this, the community voted against the closure, and the school stayed open. By the 1980’s enrollment was at a comfortable number, though the college operated at a deficit that had grown far too high, reaching 1.4 million dollars by the end of the decade. The school administration was forced to cut programs. Faced with backlash, the administration decided to reverse its decision, but the damage was already done. The financial situation continued to deteriorate with accusations of misuse of funds, causing the Mayor to withhold state funding to the school. In February of 1995, all funding was cut due to un-resolvable financial and academic issues. Local representatives fought to keep the campus open, but by December of 1995, the college had run out of money, and closed down. Following the college’s closure, the building continued to be utilized as a Career Academy, but on January 23rd, 2009 the school board shut down the career academy with no official notification to parents, laying off 36 teachers to close the budget gap. Scrappers and vandals have since caused countless amounts of damage, causing the reopening of the school to be cost prohibitive. Today the site sits abandoned awaiting future plans.

    I explore the various abandoned and decrepit buildings and locations that pepper the world. These places are remnants of the past, and I enjoy documenting them for all to see before they succumb to man or Mother Nature. Join me as I enter the belly of the beast and show you what these abandoned buildings have to offer on the inside. Happy Hunting and I wish everyone safe explorations :)
    NEVER VANDALIZE, NEVER STEAL, NEVER BREAK IN.

    Hey Lord!!! Popped in and had to check ya out!! I'm from CFs' channel and I am not disappointed either cuz that place was beautifully crusty and decayed! The auditorium seating is 1920s Art Deco!! The woodwork is absolutely stunning and the area where the ceiling is sunlight panels is called the commons or reception room! Very Damn Cool Explore!!!🤘🤘😁

      LordExplores it was a dreamy place. So much history. As teens we would dare people to run the grounds on Friday the 13th and Devils Night. It was spooky and fantastic! Love ur videos.
