Hanging Grove School

The Hanging Grove School, which has been abandoned for years, it being demolished. Some of the area residents have been rescuing bricks and some of the tiles in order to build a monument to the school. A few weeks ago I passed by and took some pictures. (Too see what the building looked like four and a half years ago, see here and click the pictures to get them enlarged.)

 Some of the bricks and the decorative tile work have been taken off. The outer layer of bricks must have been high quality because they still look very good though they are over 90 years old.

 A pile of bricks that are being saved.

 Here is what the school looks like viewed from the west.

 A closer view of the wall.

 The same wall but from a different angle to get a chimney framed.

 One the roof failed, the inside quickly broke apart.

It was a beautiful building.
