During my education at URI I enjoyed exploring the campus and finding many cool buildings in the process.  However, one that had always grabbed my interest was this windowless stone building.  I had no idea what it was until my dad said it was the old shooting range.  Well, it was pretty much sealed up, that was until last March.  A snow plow piled a bunch of snow against the side entrance, breaking open the door.  Once the snow was gone, I checked it out.  Out of all the places I've explored, I have to give this the nastiest award.  It also got high marks for creepiness.  
Built in 1920 I believe.
They boarded it up less than a week after my visit.  Guess I got lucky!

Well, sadly this place was demolished two weeks ago.  URI is on a demolition spree, 6 buildings so far, one being a historic house.  They don't think, they just do...
