The renovation phase begins, while tagging persists.

The boys' room was in a bad state by the time of this 1990s photo.

Even in a dilapidated state, the Boiler Room is an industrial, gothic sight to behold. Today, guests can drink a beer, have a meal and play some shuffleboard here.

Originally an open-air play court, this space was enclosed to create a cafeteria. Today it is the Courtyard Restaurant.

An empty, lonely classroom.

The school's front entry as it looked for much of its vacant period.

The colorfully painted designs on the boards covering the school's windows infused some sense of life into vacant building.

Not a good time in the life of the school, this early ‘90s shot shows the southern courtyard off the gym, where the soaking pool is now.

This close-up shot of the gym floor illustrates the extent of the water damage.

Renovations begin in a much neglected classroom, tagged with the signature Racer X that was so prevalent at the abandoned Multnomah County Poor Farm, today reincarnated as McMenamins Edgefield.

The school's cafeteria kitchen is shown here in the early 1990s, largely still intact.

Years earlier, a mushroom ring was the most wild thing in this courtyard; by the early 1990s, it looked like an untamed wilderness.
