grim reminders...

The entrance to the old Esgate School in Iowa tells a story of a past life.Esgate School was built in 1902 and served students for over 50 years.Soon after it closed it became a private residence for the Young family who lived there till 1990. It has been sitting and decaying ever since.There is a lot of personal effects still there,and it always gets me when things are still hanging on the walls....

 

Thanks to intrepid rural explorer Aces & Eights Photography for coming across this sad gem in rural Iowa.
