Country Club

Supposedly shut down during the Great Depression.
But it seems newer than that.

Dilapidation of Selma

Selma. A historic city. A dilapidated city.

Lets start with the old Craig Army Air Base, which was constructed in 1940 and was converted to civilian use in 1977, and is still active today.
Near the field is the former housing for soldiers and their families.
Squatters occupy many of these old apartments, and the ones that aren't occupied are totally destroyed inside.
We were harassed by the local squatters - I wouldn't suggest wandering in unless you are prepared to deal with the risks.

Arlington School

This abandoned school was constructed in 1902, and was Bessemer's first high school. It was apparently closed down in the mid '80s, and abandoned not long after that. Since its abandonment, it has been thoroughly vandalized, most of the copper has been stolen, and much of the wooden floors are rotted through.
