This is an old elementary schoolhouse dating back to the 19th century in the small village of Cape Traverse, just east of Borden Carleton. It's a 2-classroom school, one of many on the island, which closed in 1973 presumably due to nearby regional schools being opened in the province. I believe they taught grades 1 - 4 here.

Photo taken from the floor, destroyed bathroom at the door.
This is how dark it was for me when I was in here. The door is leading to the completely collapsed bathroom.

Moldy water damaged wallpaper and ceilings in one of the classrooms.
I presume the wallpaper originally covered the entire wall, and overtime degraded and fell onto the floor and decomposed. The ceiling at the edge of the room is close to collapsing.

Broken wood panels scattered on the classroom floor.
Another pic showing a different entrance to the washrooms from the classroom. Scattered wood panels and textbooks covered the wooden floors.
