rj32 | Would you go inside this lost town's abandoned school? @rj32 | Uploaded February 2016 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
In a tiny little ghost town in Oregon, along the Union Pacific Railroad, I discovered this amazing school house. The town site is almost completly gone, all that is left is this old school. Once I had permission, I explored the school to discover its mysteries. Here is what I know about the town from wikipedia.
The town was located along the old Oregon trail, that eventually gave way to the rail road. The town's post office was established in 1899 and closed in 1964. In the 1940's, the community had a massive population of 18. The deposits of limestone in the area were manufactured into lime that supplied a large area of Eastern Oregon and western Idaho. The Acme Cement Plaster Company built a plant at in this little river valley in 1916 to produce plaster, then soon after The Sun Portland Cement Company bought the plant in 1921 and began producing Portland cement. In 1926, the company merged with Oregon Portland Cement Company from Portland; by the 1960s, the facility produced 1,200,000 barrels a year. All of this activity created the need for housing, stores and a school. This school house is now all that is left of this community.
