St. Paul's All Boys School was built in 1879. In this massive facility there were 500 rooms, a library, dining hall, a huge chapel which is the best part of this place, a lecture hall, a gymnasium (which is still in use), a chem lab, and some parts of this building had dorms for the students and professors. This building also has a clock tower which is a beautiful sight (We climbed the inside of it). The architecture and design of this building is beyond words, such detail around every corner, especially seeing the perfect stained glass in the chapel, just amazing. Of course, everything has to come to an end, and that started with the enrollment declining and the bishop filed for bankruptcy. St. Paul's closed down in 1991, and in 2004, the town agreed on making the surrounding areas into a park and built sporting fields. In 2019, the town built a fence around this massive facility and has been watched HEAVILY by town police. Police have this place on lock, and if you are seen entering or inside, you WILL be arrested on the spot. This town doesn't play when it comes to exploring. The town is still trying to figure out what to do with this very historic building. Some people want this demolished; some people want this turned into a recreational center, some people want apartments, but as of right now, this facility sits abandoned, with its beautiful architecture.
By the way, THANK YOU guys for getting me to 500 subs! It means a lot and I appreciate the support!
