Hall Theater (BURNED DOWN) - https://abandonedmo.com/hall-theater/ (👈Click to see 40+ Pictures!) When I first heard and laid eyes on this building, it was unfortunately at the end of its lifetime. Our Photojournalist Billy Wade is oftentimes very intertwined in structure fire calls all around the Southern Missouri region. He had been called to the former Hall Theater for a three alarm fire that had almost entirely gutted the building. Having looked at his photos the outside of the structure looked relatively modern and I thought to myself it couldn't be older than the 1950s-1960s. I was very wrong, what I was looking at was the demise of a building that was just shy of being a century old..CONTINUE READING BELOW AbandonedMO.com #abandonedworld #abandoned #abandonedmissouri #History #abandonedjunkies #abandonedplaces #urbex #abandonedmo #missouri #urbexworld #abandonedphotography #abandonedbuilding #demolition

Searching the internet you will probably find the same bits of information “built in 1897, for prisoners, was a marine training camp, and a dog euthanasia center.” And nothing more beyond that.

Kessler Park Water Reservoir (CAN VISIT) - https://abandonedmo.com/kessler-park-water-reservoir/ (CLICK TO SEE 40+ PICTURES, FREE!) What was first called North Terrace Park has now been renamed to Kessler Park, hence why this location is most commonly known as the Kessler Park Water Reservoir. The idea for the reservoir came around 1918 when developments in the East Bottoms began to take off. In order to supply water to the area it was brought from the Turkey Creek pump station across town in the West Bottoms. This obviously proved to be costly for the city and something had to be done to remedy the costly inconvenience...
