YourBoro’s SPOOKY Edinboro DAY ONE!
What if I told you that there was a massive abandoned building less than a mile away from Edinboro? The insides are covered with graffiti of it’s past patrons who have already had their souls sucked out by this asylum. Even when operational, spiderwebs dominated every crevice and the people lurking about it walked around in a catatonic state as if just existing there kills them every minute..
Yes, seriously, Bert.
It exists.
It’s empty and it lurks over Edinboro in the distance every single day.
In fact, it TOWERS over Edinboro every day.
Lawrence Towers B
The one on the left...
As of last year (I think it was?) Lawrence Towers B has been completely abandoned with the exception of the first floor, and I think one or two people live on the second floor.
The doors on every floor have these creepy generic room numbers next to the doors. Sometime in the early 2000’s, dorm residents could no longer put anything on the front of their doors for the fear of paint being ripped off. Looks like even though Lawrence Towers’ life is ticking away, they REALLY care about the paint on these doors.
What’s most creepy is that as you traverse the hallways, remembering that no more than 2 years ago behind each of these doors you would find a lively couple of freshman (or seniors)…
Walking past all of these doors now, you can see light bouncing out from under each of the doors. Usually a sign of a student too lazy to throw a carpet down or hanging out with the blinds open, it becomes apparent after the first few doors that you’re the only one on the floor. And the floor above you, and above you and so on.
It’s doubtful that Matt Miller thought back in 2003 that his work of art would be torn to bits in less than a decade.
Lousy art kids. Why can’t you learn to APPRECIATE sinks?
So, what’s for dinner?
Bathroom with fully operational toilets, sinks and showers. Soap was still full.
Did we mention each floor is still heated? There’s also lighting on each floor hooked up to sensors so every hallway appears pitch dark until you get near it.
Going up?
Saw this upon leaving the eighth floor. Let this be a lesson, put warnings on BOTH doors.
Regardless, no one go on the 8th floor. They keep things there, or something. We didn’t see anything, it was just another floor. No more fancy furniture like they used to have in the old days. The 8th floor used to have the nicest furniture and all the trimmings out of every floor in Towers. Now it has been reduced to being “just another floor“.
Creepy as it may be that 7 floors of a building are standing tall over Edinboro, completely accessible, I think it’s obvious that walking through the building brings quite a feeling of.. I don’t know..
(Also a day late. Deal with it. Hope you guys enjoyed the series!!)

Why didn’t anyone tell me B was closed?
It seems no one really knows about B being closed for the most part
I used to live in Tower-A the first year after the towers were built. I was also a resident in Shafer the second year of its existence!
I thought Tower A has always been females only??
I used to live about two doors down from that beautiful “World Peace” mural. Half of the furniture in my room was smashed, defaced, or completely missing, and there were pot leaves painted on the walls that were never covered over. The screens were held into the windows with duct tape.
I can’t believe this countdown didn’t include that “environmental services” building/house with the barrel of toxic waste in the basement.
My brother burnt down the 5th floor of Towers B in the Spring of 1995…I lived in Shaffer which is now gone!!!!! Lots of great memories:)
Your BROTHER did that?
Ha ha. Oh, man.
I think it’d probably be best for all parties involved if what happened at Tower B, stayed at Tower B.
