(Abandoned for 50 Years) Discovering Hidden Secrets in an Abandoned School - 4K Video

what's up guys here we are in an amazing abandoned School Adventure I promise you guys are going to love this one these are my favorite types of abandoned locations this school has been closed for decades we're gonna find out once I get home and do some research when this High School when this school closed but we're right now in the auditorium there's a gymnasium there's so much Decay and peeling paint and beautiful natural light I'm so glad to be here I've been wanting to come to this abandoned school for so many years and finally we're here I got the chance to come check it out so let's get right to it guys cue the music cue the intro see you guys on the other side [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay here we go guys we are filming this one in full 4K high definition so you guys that are watching on your televisions or on your nice big screen computer monitors can get a good look at all the grime and the Decay and all the dust and the dirt get a good look in full 4K high resolution we're starting today in what was once an auditorium and as you look on top here it looks like they had uh they possibly had skylights up there it's pretty bright see if I can bring the brightness down for you a bit there you go bring it down and then we're gonna pan down get a good look at this beautiful room the stage is really soft I don't want to fall through so I'm not going to stand on the stage but where I started here I really like these only remaining seats that are left in this Hall that's a pretty powerful statement if you ask me so let's keep going here I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to head to the basement first and we'll start from the very bottom floor and work our way to the top because right now where we are we're dead center in the middle of the building as you can see there's lots of snow it's at the dead of winter it's actually my birthday road trip my annual birthday trip guys okay so I'm gonna hit the hit the pause button here I'm gonna head down to the basement and we're going to start from there so we'll see you guys in a minute all right so here we go bottom floor nice long creepy corridor open doors with natural light coming out check this out this is pretty cool if you go inside here make our way through this door and uh I just love the way the natural light is hitting these urinals you wouldn't think that urinals would be so photogenic but when you got natural light coming in from that window right there here I'll bring the light down for you so you can get a better look there we go bring the light down you can see the color and the textures and then I'll bring it down right there to the urinals there you go isn't that nice colors textures full 4K guys zoom in if you can enjoy that 4K Grime and grimy goodness in 1916 the local school board acquired land to construct a Junior and Senior High School construction of this Junior Senior High School commenced in 1920. the new gymnasium was open to the public during a boys basketball game on December 22nd 1921. however the new school was not finished until mid-January of 1922 putting this building at an age of just over 100 years old a larger high school was built on the outskirts of town between 1958 and 1960. and the former building was then repurposed to house grades three through six until the 1970s while I'm not able to provide an exact date it does appear that this abandoned school was closed in the 1970s over the years the town has made several attempts at restoration and all have failed [Music] this is your main entrance this is the front door to the school and if you look up it's got this really nice ceiling just bring the light down for you there you go so you can see it and then just come around like this and we'll pan down and square it up real nice you got a bunch of books on the floor there there you go bring that up there it's like a church ceiling I don't know what you would call this sure you guys know what the name is for this kind of ceiling but I sure don't an article from 2022 stated that the village was hoping to receive a restored New York Grant from Empire State development to reconstruct the old school building the plan for this building was to transform it into an assisted living senior center with 47 Apartments of the 47 planned units 15 were to be set aside for frail elderly people and 10 of the units were planned specifically for people with Mobility impairments while another few units were planned for people with vision or hearing impairments I've always wanted to come here in the springtime because all of these trees and shrubs and bushes and things that are growing they all turn green and this whole Auditorium looks like just nature taking it over so I'm hoping to come back here someday in the springtime so I can photograph this whole place because all of the I'll see if I can find somebody's pictures and they'll let me use them if I remember to and I'll show you guys what this room looks like in the springtime or in the summertime when it's full of green okay moving on here that's a really old bicycle right here this is the second one like this that's in the school it's pretty neat eh all rusty and stuff okay another staircase every corner has a staircase okay so there's a little classroom here most of the classrooms are pretty trashed so it's not really worth going into classrooms but here you can see that's the ceiling right there pieces of the ceiling all over the floor okay so there is another floor down but it's flooded down there and we can't get to it so that's too bad so here's another staircase we'll head up to the next floor now see what's going on up there what this room here is can't quite figure it out but it's quite the mess this place has been abandoned for so long oh thank you okay so that I guess that covers that floor that floor is just that one big room there so we'll come up to this floor here bring my leg down a little bit okay left or right okay there's a door here lots of junk so we don't need to really worry about that so let's keep going let's go it's a nice little scene right there eh I like that okay here we go another beauty of a staircase right there oh that's nice let's just do a pan here from the staircase down this hallway and then we'll keep going it's always a bit darker to take a look into some of these classrooms so here's a tire wall has come down and collapsed light fixtures are coming down okay let's keep going guys foreign the auditorium from the balcony can I see that okay saw it good there's a really cool classroom right across the hallway here that's different than all the other classrooms there you go Isn't that cool look at that um these old chairs all busted up I wonder why this classroom is different than all the other ones okay construction for the project was slated to begin in December of 2022 with the hope that rooms would be able to be rented out sometime in June of 2024. sadly just a few weeks ago in February 2023 the developer of the project walked away stating unfortunately despite our commitment as a non-profit to take no development fees or money from the project the dramatically increased renovation costs have made the building and maintenance of this project untenable available grants tax credits and tax credit rental limits combined could not meet the costs associated with converting this historic School building into affordable homes for seniors state and local officials are very hopeful that another developer will soon be able to step in to move forward with the project [Music] thank you going nice and slow today I hope you guys like the slower Pace that I'm taking not speeding through my camera's not zipping to and fro and all over the place and trying to go nice and slow today so you guys can really take this one in you guys enjoy this [Applause] okay moving right along I said oh it's a stove right here okay okay we've done one whole root hit rotation one whole round so we're going to go up to the next floor I think this might be where the gym is excuse me foreign [Music] first hold on a second okay so this is one of the change rooms there's two obviously and you got a Few Lockers there and then the stairs go up to the bathroom area and the showers nothing to see up there so I'm not going to bother going up there but let's go in and check out the gym you guys are going to like the gym it's a really big gym look at this hey foreign let's just see here yeah this is it this is the last four [Music] okay this is a pretty big room right here whether it's a classroom or if it was something else it's a really big room it's also got skylights it does have a chalkboard so it is it is definitely a classroom [Music] thank you [Music] thank you okay we got one more rotation to do around the top floor somebody has a really good cursive handrake good job thank you some old graffiti in here from the 1990s 1980s this place has been abandoned for so long that it's got graffiti and people signing the chalkboard from the 1980s foreign let's go back to the hallway here we go [Applause] this is the library here okay foreign this next hallway we're about to turn down is probably one of my favorites because it has a skylines the only hallway with a skylight that's nice hey look at this well that's weird this room has a door with Windows but there's nothing behind it I wonder what the purpose of that was that's weird foreign [Music] okay guys that's a wrap on this one so I'm hoping that by the time I get home and post this video I'm able to get some history on this place and if I haven't put it in the voiceover then hopefully I was able to put it in the video description down below and find out for you guys how old this school is when it closes what else do we can tell you guys about it so hope you guys have liked this one as much as I did probably one of my favorite types of places is
