Built in 1932 of spanish architecture Boude Storey Middle school is the first jr. high school in Dallas and was the first school in Dallas to have 2 gyms. The chandeliers in the auditorium and in the hallway are imported from Spain. The massive mahogany beams that hold up the roof in the auditorium are imported from England and the doors are made from solid oak. The gutters are made from copper. (over the years the cooper turned black)
It's located a few blocks north of Downtown Jamaica (Queens), its a NYC Historical Landmark. In December the NYC Dept. of Education announced they were closing it because the graduation rate has been below 50% for years. It's also notoriously violent, I didn't go there so I don't know. I wonder what they'll do with the building.
