Photos of Abandoned School That Merge the Past with the Present

When schools become abandoned, they lose the sense of life that they once had, but the memories made there are never forgotten. In this incredible photo series, pictures from the past are combined with the present-day scenery from abandoned schools. The results are chilling in all the right ways.

These pictures were originally published by Detroiturbex, a site dedicated to documenting the challenges of Detroit. The school building has since been demolished. Via bleaty.com
