| Sterling Annex building in 2023 |
I'm back in Sterling to check out the old Sterling school building! Many doors ajar, lots of vandalism present, but still here.

| Front entry, windows and doors uncovered |

| One side of the back end |
The basement stairs are completely dry now! You can actually walk through the door to the basement now. Granted, everything is still flooded inside except for an entry landing.

Next to the basement stairs, a plant has been cut down, revealing an additional hole in the ground. Looking through my earlier documentation, it looks like this has been here, just covered. Not sure why it was uncovered.

The other back end
Boy, those originally-bright-red couches have faded |

| Someone dumped pieces of a wooden playset on the way to my favorite door |

| At my favorite door. Only one animal shelter remains, beat up. |

Lindsay's plans to demolish the structure are still in the works. Check back here for coverage when it happens.

Went to preschool here until it closed. I always wondered what happened to this place. So sad to know it’s getting demolished sixteen years later. Thanks for the updates!
