I taught in room 306 for 8 years! I LOVED that building!!! It had so much storage and all that beautiful architecture just added to the environment! I smiled the whole time I watched this as I knew exactly where you were at many spots! Again...sad that this is what has become of this historic lace! Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I went to the school in 90s
Honestly...my first thought was of a teacher and student that went there... here's both!
That school is so we'll BUILT!
It really should be saved one way or another.... Amazing!
I install Terrazzo at schools all over the country....
I feel bad for that school :(
I was a student at Heberle Elementary School from 1988-1994, K thru 5th grade. It was kind of eerie seeing all these locations in the building that I remember as a child being so dilapidated looking now. They shut the school down in 2007 I believe due to student overcrowding and safety concerns, the building was outdated for the increase in students. This video was a bit unsettling to see, but it was neat as well. I remember that memorial fountain just like it was yesterday. Thanks for sharing this video!!
Small world! Hopefully it brought back some good memories. You might recognize some other places we’ve made videos on from the area.
Jason King my mom used to teach at Heberle.
I lost my elementary school bk in '06, I believe. And sr. high, earlier. Both for NO reason. It was HEARTBREAKING!😟 Do what you can to save it.
Was the school in Cincy?
It looked like a lot pride went into building this school. It needs to be saved.
I agree they don’t make them like this anymore
I’m in tears watching this. This is my old school. Went there in the 90s from Kindergarten to 8th grade until I went to Western Hills High School. Man we had so much fun. And we use to break in at night and run around in the dark playing hide go seek 😂😂😂 I miss the 90s man. Thank you so much for having the courage to go inside and explore. Heberle will be missed.
So many childhood memories
I went there from 84 to 89 (K-5th grade)
The painted wood windows thing is about eye appeal. Cities do it all the time to make the city look less worn down even with the buildings be abandoned.
There's a church in my area where they did this but the windows are painted a bright sky blue. Just makes the place look creepy lol...
Beautiful old school. It's a shame that someone removed all of the radiators. A beautiful old school right next to my house was just renovated and they ripped out all of the beautiful old wood work and crystal chandeliers that were in the hallways. Now the inside of this school is plain and boring.
Storage under the chalk board was to keep chalk and erases.
I just watched this for the first time! I taught there from 2001-2005. It was a Cincinnati Public School. Not a Catholic School but I can understand your inference because of the way it was designed .
I hope that this building is utilized for some purpose. It looks solid and is a shame it is unused. I do enjoy videos of abandoned places especially places in Ohio so I hope you make more
The schools was built much nicer with character back than .with high ceilings crown molding ETC ...just gorgeous !
This is a legacy from depression era America....A lot of public school buildings were constructed then; look up the programs. These buildings could not be built today because of the expense. Solid framing, extensive brick and stone work, heavy duty interiors marble floors oak woodwork. These buildings are solid and can last for hundreds of years if properly maintained....
My Junior High School was turned in to apartments. I’m so happy they made use of that school and wasn’t left to rot.
these old schools means nothing to a lot and everything to those with memories
the quality of this footage is superior
poo on the stairs gross .... love the fireplace that was awesome
The fireplace definitely makes up for the poop 😜
Beautiful Rookwood tile work on fireplace and fountain .
Beautiful school. Glad they are going to do something with it. Great clarity on the camera, just slow down a bit when
turning around..... makes me dizzy :) Great find. Thanks for sharing. God Bless and keep you safe.
Exploring closed old school buildings in Cincinnati it has always amazing me how the water fountains are works of art using Rookwood tiles. A fireplace? Beautiful.
Great explore thanks for bringing us along!
Awesome video, your channel just popped up in my recommendations. You have a lot great locations on here, I just subscribed.
I have been doing abandoned on my channel for about a year as well. Nothing quite as good as this, but slowly building it.
Thank you for all that you do, and as always be safe out there my friends
Welcome. It is definitely an addiction!
What a great old building!! All the built ins and details! Awesome fireplace, I've never seen one in a school. What was that room for?
Glad to see it wasn't trashed! Hope it gets saved. Your new equipment was worth it! Thanks for a great video!!
Thanks Ron for noticing! I thought the same thing about the built-ins and fireplace. You just don’t see that in today’s schools.
Parochial schools were like that. Bk in the day. Their marching orders came from priests, bishops, etc. Not "just" politicians.
That fireplace may have been in the teacher's lounge
@@kathy2trips I hope when (if) they remodel it, they keep it.
Great video. Love them old historic buildings. Just watch your step. 😄
No doubt. We’re going to be given him shit for a long time 😜
. wow!! Truly amazing!
Weird someone crapped on the stairs, that was gross. Otherwise this was a nice explore, the architecture is amazing! Fireplace was very unique.
Great exploration. Looks like a really neat building. Keep up the good work.
This is James Barrow it's a cool school it's looking good condition and good shape and it can be saved and turn it to apartments
This reminds me of a school I just was part of redoing in Richmond Indiana, aside from the nice fireplaces and all the nice woodwork, which was probably already "updated" once back in 92. But at least that school got a new life with some new cabinets on my part
I'd burn those shoes if I was you.
I love the fireplace and the whole building
Always wondered what this beautiful building looked like inside
Yes, love the new go pro! New to your videos, great job. I've subscribed!
Terri the fact that you liked the new footage enough to comment really makes me happy. Thank you! 😃
PEACE LOVE AND HAPPINESS to all of you out there
This was a fascinating journey. Would love to do something like this but too chicken. I salute your brave explorer spirits.
I watched this video, your intro video to your channel, and I subscribed!
Awesome! I need to make a new intro with all of the best stuff from the other videos but it’s hard to make that a priority over making new videos. So glad you enjoyed. Welcome 🙏
Awesome fireplace @5:59!!
I was in that school a couple of times prior to it closing, the entire place smelled like old school cafeteria food. There are also some very beautiful turn of the century home's in that area, it was a wealthy area at one time. Unfortunately people and businesses are moving further and further out, population and tax base is dwindling, regentrification process is also temporary in the area . But these places are slowly being forgotten and with the economy heading for a down turn, these treasures will slowly decay and become lost memories, beautiful school. Enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great adventure. Thanks
This is so incredible thanks ! Enjoying these videos. Apart from the dirty protest on the stairs. Reminds me of a Tom cat leaving his scent dirty boy, great job tho on the style of your channel.
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate the ❤️
I hope the city utilizes the building in some manner. If not, I hope that someone gets salvage rights and saves so many of the nice architectural elements such as the fireplace surround, and the large wood dividing doors. Thanks for the video.
A ray of sunshine.There are actually lumber yards that deal in exactly what you have described should be salvaged.I have worked on a demolition crew and whenever the crew does a turn-of-the-century property they definitely salvage anything these lumber yards will buy for resale. Many times local historical societies have a contact for these type of lumber yards for individuals who are restoring properties to their originality and need materials of the time era.
I'd hope it would be fixed up/reno so it could be used as a school again.
However, it would make an awesome apartment building. Those school rooms are huge and could each be an apartment. There's already a gym, locker rooms. Keep basketball, add equipment elsewhere.
...oh..I just heard you mention lofts! Cool! Glad to have such beautiful architecture kept beautiful!
I like the new look myself. Love this school, great video
I've had a visit their when it was open with students about 14 yrs ago, im still in Cincinnati working.
Cincinnati Art Works goes around OTR painting the boarded up windows to look like real windows so it doesn't look so bad. You'll see it all over downtown and OTR
I agree and it makes sense. It does look a lot better that way.
Amazing woodwork!
What a beautiful massive building
you should explore the Haunted Bissman bldg. or the State reformatory in Mansfield Ohio..
Awesome 👍 fireplace.
Nice sharp video!
I wish I can purchase this building and redo it for the homeless here. It’s not in bad shape.
Awesome video Guys 👏👏👏👏 Your video reminds me of my old elementary school. They turned it in to a historical society building. BTW remember sh-t happens lol.
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes it does!
Great school good work guys
Thanks! It’s gonna take a while to get rid of that smell.
Killer spot! Nice work on the video guys. If ever in the Cleveland area hit me up, I’ve got plenty of spots.
Would love to know of some spots near Cleveland man
Cleveland gal now south. Plenty of places to play in Cleveland
looks awesome
Awesome video
Thanks Steve!
Once occupied welcome. Love all your video's. Thats why i subscribe.
I really appreciate it!
I am 8 mins away from that school right now. Wow
Enjoyed the video...
Abandoned schools are cool, strange no pool
Solid explore guys. Keep it up! I read the prices of the proposed condo units and I can't see how people with $200-$400K will buy in that area. Seems pretty optimistic....
We said the same thing. That explains why the project didn’t takeoff. $400,000 condo and 90% chance you’re going to get mugged or worse.
The area is being gentrified. There are a lot of renovations going on close to there. Findley Street Market is really cool. They have really great Gyros there and A Taste of Belgium can't be beat!
Never been there. We’ll definitely have to check it out 😎
@@OnceOccupied
I live on Dayton st. really close and I think it's a lovely place to live, btw 909 Dayton sold a year ago for $550,000.
You guys should check out the orphanage on river road in maumee ohio?
i’m going to explore this place tonight!!
Are you still alive?
@@SolitudeAwaits yes lmao
@@andrianaolivencia2522 looks like no ghost or something. But I still wouldn't go there in a daylight
That place is in great shape. One of the coolest I've ever scene
So, I wonder who Joseph Heberle was. The ornate, decorative fountain in the school hallway was dedicated in his memory. And the outside sign said that the building was going to be re-developed into the "Heberle Lofts." So who was Joseph Heberle?
Even if they convert it, they'll still gut it. That's the problem. The new owners will destroy/throw-out most the interior.😟
It's sad it's just sitting there wasting away
Cool your vids are great
That school is newer than the Middle school of the city that I live in , which is still in use today . Chalk that one up to the illegal funding of Ohio schools .
I went to that school in kindergarten around 94/95 and where you was standing at the end was my classroom
Those wood panel doors in the gym is crazy. Those are worth a pretty penny.
All hardwood. Stuff is hard to come by anymore.
Looks good!
Thanks David!
I WENT TO HEBERLE MAN THT BROUGHT BCK MEMORIES GREAT VIDEO 🤟🏿
You guys have been to a lot of cool places. I want to find a small old school, church, theater, library, storefront retail building, cool old house with large extra building... Ok... SOMETHING cool to live/work in. Have you come across anything like that in Ohio (anywhere but Northern), Eastern Indy, NW WV, Northern Ky or Western Pa???
I'm planning to move back home (or close to it) in about a year and it's hard to find the perfect space from Dallas. Seriously.
It WAS worth it. Extremely cool fireplace. When did it close?
Pl do a video of the old massie high school in harveysburg there's never been one done.
i gave a like just for the fireplace footage!
Yesssss!!!!
The fancy mosaic water fountain was really cool! Sorry about you getting in some poo poo! LOL! GREAT EXPLORE! Really cool building!
Good morning!
That was one hell of a way to start an explore!
Great quality of video! Beautiful building. Hope they salvage the wood, the eagles, and that huge fireplace when they turn it into lofts.
One thing--the music didn't enhance the video. In fact, it was pretty annoying. Might want to leave it out or try something different.
The school bell still fings??? Oh how I remember that bell 🙂!!!
I remember going to heberle I remember the principal Henri Bradshaw Miss. Marcus Miss Foley
Floppg disks, that's going back in time. Great tour,thanks.
No doubt. It’s like they forgot to clear out the top room. We got lucky 🍀
Probably has gay porn story files since they are in that secret room. The male teachers, gym teacher and chemistry teacher. hmmm hmmm
Great video and very stable! Where’s the guy hiding?
Is that linwood school on eastern,lol I'm from there an I remember when that school an my school McKinley came together to make that new one on stilts...
Briefly attended Heberle too.
I'd like to see more oldest schools
I've been looking at both types of videos (videos that show the pretty side of a city, and videos that show abandoned buildings, houses, or ghettos of a city) and what I've seen from explorers like you is such extreme differences. I've seen some of these extremes with my own eyes, like recently in Georgia I saw some beautiful well built and kept homes and city areas, while I also saw some things falling apart. I guess I'm still fascinated by all of this because I'm always afraid of natural disasters or some economical or tyrannical regime making me homeless and I like to see how these bullies can justify running me off time and time again while there are so many abandoned "shelters" just like this school, that nobody is using and could provide a roof for a homeless person when there are no other shelters....
That school doesn't look like it's in That bad of shape
I'm surprised that mosaic is still there. This sch. looks alot like Memphis Elementary. On the inside.
I live on Dayton St. really close to that school and I never knew homeless people were occupying the building. I can't wait for the lofts to finally move in.
It could easily be a homeless/resource center as well. You little snot
is this still a school. if so where is it loavted
I was there head start in 89-6th grade graduation in 98
These are my favorite kinds of videos. What part of Ohio is this I'm from Ohio!
Southern Ohio near Kentucky. Thanks for the love 😜
you're welcome, thanks for the great videos.@@OnceOccupied
Once Occupied damn, I live the very top (literally right up against the lake, I can walk there in 5 mins from my house).
Maybe one day I’ll have a reason to go down there and explore
@@enbykeith same here IAM in Northeast Ohio lake county
Cool video! Are you ever afraid of getting trapped and not having cell service in one of those old places? 😬
One time we went to an abandoned prison in the middle of the night. We went out a back door thinking it was outside. It was outside but inside the Yard 😳😳😳😳. As soon as we heard the door latch we just looked at each other. Luckily there was a gate on the far end that was unlocked. From now on we alway block doors to keep from from latching if we haven’t verified there is another way out of her room. I mean it would be kind of funny if we got locked in given we had service to call somebody. I’m glad you liked the video 🙏🏻
@@OnceOccupied yikes! Well I’m glad you all are okay! You urban explorers are definitely a brave group.
Thank you 🙏🏻 it is a ton of fun and I am glad everyone likes the videos!
hope it can be saved
Where is this building located? I'm looking for locations for a movie I am planning and this would be a great location for it. Excellent video.
Sorry we do not share locations in public in order to protect them. We do offer location sourcing services. Feel free to contact us via our website onceoccupied.com
That looks like downtown Detroit in background! Ohio not far from Michigan border,looks like the recent!
Beautiful school ! It’s a shame they couldn’t make offices or apartments out of it.
Saw a story from OCT 2020 of the new owner who wants to renovate the building..
Reminds me of my high school. My school was burned down by arsonists in 1972. Some kid was pissed about something or other.
A hidden room with a couch, in a catholic school. I fear maybe some bad stuff may have happened there over 70 years.
Back in the day Mrs Schlimer the art teacher and Sister Gatz the home ec teacher used that room for some pretty wild times with male facility members.
Hell yeah! Would have loved to be the one giving out spankings to bad girls3>
@@timberwolfpowler8747 😏Or whomever.
Public Schools are much more dangerous than Catholic Schools.
Today’s Public School “teachers” are deranged, amoral communists and pedophiles.
Ohio love it
I’d love to have one of those real slate blackboards!
