It says a lot to the craftsmen who built these places that they can stand for so long open to the elements and not be totally destroyed.

More! More! More! Don't stop, you have many addicts that love looking through new galleries (and the old ones as well!)

I just went and looked back at the other gallery for this location and saw that there was no equipment left in the projection room!

I am often amazed at how you can capture so much atmosphere in your photographs. This one in particular brings forth feelings of a late fall day, chill in the air, probably around twilight. Of course I could be wrong and this was shot on a spring morning, but that just shows the artistic element in you! Thanks for a great gallery, although I was a little dissappointed there was no projection equipment in the theater pictures. Maybe next time! Thanks, you are the best!

THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME. . . did you get up in that projection booth and take pictures of the equipment (he says in anticipation. . .)

Yea, I don't know what it is about decaying theaters, but I have to say I think they're my favorite! Next to the hospitals of course!

I'd take a room just like that, debris and all!

Growing up we had a chair similar to this in front of the TV that we used to fight over to see who got to sit in it. It was very comfortable and ours had two controls, one for heat and one for a massage that made the chair vibrate, slow, medium or fast. I was sorry to see that chair go, it was the best chair for TV watching.

Claudia, I can see how patients would be a little afraid of this thing. If I had the choice, I think I'd rather have the sores than be strapped to this contraption and spun around!

same here. Back in the day when these were popular and everyone had one, they also had piano movers. Try to find a piano mover today. I had an upright grand piano like this but mine was a player piano so it was even heavier, probably about a thousand pounds. When I moved out of the apartment I was in, I had to hire people with a crane in order to get this out the front window. I'm glad I took pictures because no one believed it when I told them.

Just because you're in a hospital doesn't mean you have to look like shit :-)
