Located in the Southern US, in a town known most for its tobacco sales, is a vacant school house from Old America still standing to this day, barely. Back in 1880, the school was first constructed in Italianate Victorian architecture and held class for a total number of 300 children ages ranging from 6-21.
In later years, the school had some additions that included a gymnasium/auditorium and an additional wing of classrooms. This was added back in the 1930s.
By 1988, this Ohio River Schoolhouse was determined the oldest operating school in the state, but this unfortunately was the last year that students were able to learn within these walls.
As we explore what's left, we will realize the fragility of what remains as we investigate and explore gently, trying not to disturb the collapsing mess of this old American school.

You are one of my very favorite explorers. You are so humble and soft spoken. I was amazed at how big the classrooms were. The ceilings so high, as well. No A.C. back in the day. The schools today would never last through all the elements for 144 years. Thanks for sharing such an groovy video. Stay safe out yonder. P€ac€ ~n~ £0v€✌️

JFI, almost all the old buildings that were schools, city offices government buildings ETC., had asbestos in the plaster, and the insulation around the old pipes is almost pure asbestos. My old highschool had asbestos sprayed on the ceilings. Most furnaces and boilers had asbestos in the fireboxes. They had no idea how dangerous the mineral was until we started seeing the results. Most old rural houses had mostly cow hair as a binder in the plaster. The cart looking device in the boiler room is a stoker. It used coal that was crushed and had an auger which fed coal into the firebox when it called for heat. The only reason the building is still there probably is because it has asbestos and it would cost too much to tear it down. Interesting video, thanks for posting! Smiles.

Pepsi Free was phased out in 1987. It is what is now known as Caffeine Free today. It was once red but to not be confused with the Coca Cola branding, it was changed to gold. It now keeps part of that gold now that Pepsi is blue but the caffeine free is now outlined in gold. Neat find!

This is amazing! My great grandparents used to live in Ripley along the river in Ohio, not too far from Higginsport! I’ve driven past this school many times. People in these small towns are pretty chill and don’t mind people walking around. The school closed down in 1988. Thanks for coming local to Cincinnati!

Absolutely love places like these. The many lives and silent history that happened here is still seen for what's left of it, and that in of itself is very remarkable. Urbex is a hobby I would love to get into, but until then I thoroughly enjoy the chance for being on the outside looking in. Stay safe and be careful! I know sometimes those areas it's the unfriendly locals that are more cause for worry than creaky boards.

I wonder if the school district still owns this or if it had been sold to someone else by now. It seems like that building in such bad shape that I suspect that it will eventually be wrecking balled. It would have been a nice building to repurpose years ago when it closed as a school, but it is sad that it was left to rot out.

You were mostly safe. That was vinyl tile probably put in in the 80's. Asbestos tiles don't curl up like that. Also hard to explain but you can kinda tell from the color/pattern sometimes. At least the ones in that one room. Tiles in the basement. Most likely asbestos.
