Hattiesburg's Main Street High School

I found this first picture online, it's of the building before a fire.




A time line of the Hattiesburg High School can be found here.
And a video of the beginnings of a now abandoned renovation is here.














This was my first time photographing an abandoned place, and my first post to this community, though I've watched it long before I ever joined it. I was alone when I took these pictures, so I did not attempt to go inside the building, let alone past the fence, mostly because of the people watching me from both sides of the building. I hope to be able to go into the building sometime soon, and when I do I will take pictures to share, if you all can put up with my lack of photography skills ^_~.

OMG! I did my student teaching at Hattiesburg High back in the late 80's/early 90's! What a trip down memory lane...and what a shame such a historic structure met such tragedy.

Neat! I moved to Hattiesburg in the early 90s, but I went to Oak Grove instead of the schools on that side of town.

Your icon is cute <3.

Haha, that's cool that you live in town! Actually, there is a part still intact, and someone has recently broken past the boards blocking the door, so you can still go into it, I only didn't because I was alone and people were watching me.
