I find it hard to believe that when this partition had taken its toll and fell back, it didn't take any paint off of the side walls... Amazes me.

It's very likely rust. Metal furnishings were used as much as possible to reduce fire risk. Chairs and desks in offices were usually metal, there were metal grates over every window and over radiators. The building leaked constantly from rain and old plumbing.

Fascinating photos. I worked at Met State for a few years. This photo of teh CTG unit doesn't look a whole lot different than the unit looked while still in use. There are so many "behind the scenes" stories to this creepy place that never got out to the public. Some may be urban legends, some I know to be true. Either way, these photos capture the horror of the place in way that can make one belive that any story about it could actually have happened.
