Rustoleum Metallic, art room
Another shot from inside the art room at the vacated Wellman Union School.
See that can on the desk? It’s Rustoleum Metallic. I am just positive that someone took the spray paint in there with the intentions of painting the filing cabinets. Right?

There were a lot of things left behind in this classroom – but when I was there everything was covered with dust.

Oh, pity as then it looks that it is abandoned for good.

I am afraid that it is. In this part of Texas, small towns tend to get smaller every year, and often rural school districts get so small that they are consolidated with other, nearby schools. It is very sad – for the schools, the students, and the towns.

This is a very dreary room – can you imagine your creative juices flowing in full force in a space like this? All I can imagine is the ceiling slowly lowering, like a juice press.

Even when it wasn’t full of dust-coated, discarded furniture, I think the room would have been awful. In addition to those concrete-block walls and low ceiling, there’s only one window, so almost no natural light.
Good image re. the juice press!

There is that story “A Terribly Strange Bed” which springs to mind too, by Wilkie Collins (though I thought it was by Edgar Allen Poe until I looked it up just now). Horrible. That low ceiling is wretched.

I am not familiar with that story – but I will be looking it up shortly. (I’ve read The Moonstone and The Woman in White, though.)

It is very short, and on the web so easy to find. And creepy. You might never sleep well in a canopy bed again.

Yes, it IS creepy! Good thing I don’t have a canopy bed, or I’d be sleeping elsewhere. For a long time….!
(I liked the line “he had the dirtiest pair of hands I ever saw – even in France.”)
