OMG. A MUST SEE. A MUST SEE. This museum/relic is perfectly preserved in a state of readiness. What I mean by that is most things are original but it's design and use is ageless and simplistically stunning. Not many of this kind of places left hence A MUST SEE. It has been adapted for wheel chair users and has a lift inside that allowed wheel chair users to fully experience the sheer audacity of this building. There is no street parking.

Now, I would like to personally vouch myself as a volunteer to clear the playground and the bathrooms in which after seeing, are easy fixes as these two areas should never have reached such poor states. I would do this weekly to ensure that people world wide would have the best oppertunity to see life in the older schools...
