Tried this place at night a few weeks ago but didn’t have the nerve to go in but felt like we had to go back. Went back during the day and I’m so glad we did! Such an interesting place to explore, most of the building is well lit but some other parts like the cells were in complete darkness...

This is my first post so I am sorry in advance if this isn't exactly what people expect to see on here. History: I have researched online and asked around but there seems to be very little history on this place, all I have been able to gather was that the school closed in 2009 and moved to...
