The Children's School of Light and Shadow. (Alias)

Erected in the 1930, not much information exists online about it's history.
What little information I did find is taken from PDF files of old books and issues of "Psychiatric Quarterly".

It seems that it was built with the intention of being a school for disabled children, both mental and physical.
The presence of hydrotherapy tubs reinforces this information.
Further research disclosed that a Dr. Harry C. Storrs was appointed as superintendent of the school on July 1, 1930.
This is interesting because Dr. Storrs had been the first assistant physician
at Letchworth Village since December 1919...

Present day the school campus lays abandoned in a field.
At least half of the structures are gutted completely, any items of value having been scrapped.
This includes all the steel doors and windows...
In fact we had to avoid the scrappers while filming, and though we kept a good distance away from them,
we could hear their machinery in the background our entire time there.

These skeleton structures have a surreal look and feel to them, half building and half open-air.
The low winter sun cast long shadows across the decaying floors, now left open to the elements.
Leaves blow through hallways that, until recently, were sealed with stale air and the smell of rot.

This is the school's final stage, it's last form before disappearing forever.
I hope my photos serve as a fitting eulogy...
