yeah sure a timber and masonry structure is far superior to rigid steel or reinforced concrete

I don't think you realize what you are talking about when you mentioned the framing in this building is superior to what would be built in present time. Building techniques and materials have come a very long ways since 1920 something... just saying. Not to mention building codes were most likely non existent when the structure was built.

@@fnhwk i am a building contractor. There was code back then as well. Most if not all buildings 1920s thru 1960 used different materials with most having superior strength over todays quick fab up and done. Mud and slat walls are 50 times stronger than basic sheetrock. Concrete mixtures back than hit as high as 9000psi strength rating. Brick and mortar constructs were made of better materials. 2x4, 2x6 and more were there actual size. 2x4 now are anywhere from 1 3/4 x 3 3/4 if you buy from actual contractor site to actual 1 5/8 x 3 9/16. So you actually lose as much as 35% load strength. Type of nails used were mostly square nails. So much more. Rigid steel has its places but rigid steel is only used in outside shoring and outside main support. Light gauge stud steel is used for in between fabrication and load differentation. Timber still is the ruling build. Most if not all long supports are LVL and that is composite wood compressed under high pressure and steam. 20+ years doing this. Yes there are newer materials and some yes are better, but some are actually not. Everything I do requires basic physics, complex math. Load calculations and more. By the way reinforced concrete is an over used term. 100s of permiatations for concrete mixtures all with different weight ratios for what they are setup for. Have a good one.

Smash that old Junior High building down! It crumbled really easy. Actually, modern buildings are a lot more efficient when it comes to use of materials. Composite construction and modern methods result in a better building which is more watertight and well insulated. Buildings are designed for limited lifespans, to a budget, and need to be fit for purpose over their design life. No more... or we are wasting money... especially where public buildings are concerned.

Safety reasons

If that was my school I would not learn anything anymore

They were ripping it down because of the frame but ok

Jack i agree

they tore it down and replace it with the middle school, a lot better of a school probably.

but education is still important to everyone...

lol

+David Mainella i know, aren't you very sad about that school.

This operator is clearly taking no prisoners!!

Ozone depletion is caused by natural causes, not by dangerous gases. The government banned CFCs because of their stupidity. Also, people still think that A/C refrigerant can deplete the ozone layer. What a bunch of crazy environmentalists.

i was thinking the same thing!!!

That was once a beautiful building back in the old days 😡

TheArchDemon ain’t so beautiful now huh lmao, but wait do they got a new building there now?

@@itsawalk863 typically when they demolish a school it’s because they are going to build a new one or already built a new one

@@TackyFlamingo ik thats how it worked at my school, last year they tore a building down built in 53, it was originally a gym, but in 1990 they started building a new gym and made the old one into a reading classroom building, it was used as that from the 90s till 2020. Tore it down. Now a new classroom building is almost completed in the same spot as the two buildings torn down last summer

By the way, I looked this school up on google maps and it was rebuilt.

watchu 'spect its one of them country schools boy

alexxxxxx23 u

They just used regular bricks and not using rebarbs for reinforcement.

The school was over 90 yrs old.

If it was poorly built it wouldn’t have stood for 90 years. The machinery they’re using is very powerful.

Yea it was a very old school, it was built and 1919-1921 which now today's is 2021 yea the school was very old, and needed to be demolished. Because when they barely touched the school bricks was already falling off.

Yes it was built next to the old school.

because they built a new one

Yeah he pretty much just boops it and it comes down probably for the best no one uses that place anymore

Actually the school was very old it was already falling apart, and I'm pretty sure the inside the school there was some collapses. And you can see the roof was already coming down by it self when they barely touched the building.

I’m not surprised.

Karl Bentley they could've been donated to the Union mission or people couldn't afford ac's

If I want to get rid of an air conditioner unit I have to pay to have freon removed.....apparently they don't and they're getting paid with taxpayers' money!!! Ripoff.

They won’t remove the Freon gas, it takes time that they won’t spend

“beautiful” A beautiful structure would have architecture that would be built to last rather than these crappy brick and mortar eyesores.

@@HOVANA aka the new middle school

Sorry to say this bud but you know some of those teachers in students are probably dead.

They built a new school almost on top of where the old one was wdym

BAH GAWD THE FIEND WITH THE MANDIBLE CLAW THAT SCHOOL IS OUT OF IT

Maybe because the class does. Not have air

So that's why they out it

Yea it was built in the 1921 now today is 2021 the building is old in weak, you see how they barely touched half of the roof it was already coming down by itself.

Very true, it was built all the way back in 1921 now today is 2021. So sad. if a tornado came by the school wouldn't be to withstand it.

it was only in one hallway so yeah

Right they built a new school building next to it a lot bigger

Exactly since a demolition shear wasnt even needed to destroy it

Wendi Dennison Ii

Yes they built a school right across from where this was demolished

The new school is standing right beside it

look what happened to the cute little air conditioners in the windows

good

Edit: This building had structural issues and was demolished because of that.

MrRideutah this school was built in 1921. It was first a high school then once the new high school was built it was turned into a junior high. 7th and 8th grade.

Now I understand. Was wondering why it was constructed that way. That is pretty damn impressive for 1921

MrRideutah yeah! It was a pretty ok school. Full of asbestos...

MrRideutah it was a much better looking school from the back. Looking up the hill!

an I hope it has a ram guard

My longtime girlfriend's high school, Wanesfield High of Sellersville Pennsylvania opened in September of 1921. It's still standing and still a high school.

Take it easy, think of your heart, your whim...
