These are nice respectable homes these MDs had. I wouldn't want to be a child growing up on the campus of a large mental hospital, but they are nice homes. Hopefully the developer could renovate them and develop more stately homes around them.

Looked like an OR lamp on the bottom (parts of it missing) with a ventilation system attachment at the ceiling....sort of like a 2-in-1 thing.

Maybe this was an emergency generator for the elevators in case of power failure it at least allowed people NOT to be trapped in them?

Don't need to have Southern Fried Motts around....we like your pix too much.

What a treasure!

Cyrus, it's not only the things you mention in the lack of buildings that look like that. Architects seem to want simplicity instead of ornate features like these. There hasn't been a Victorian revival period as of yet.

Reminiscent of the old prison that was used to film A Nightmare On Elm Street....especially the hallway in the beginning where Tina first encounters Freddy at the start of the movie.

Looks like the fire didn't get too hot to leave soot stains in the peelig paint but was hot enough to cause a lot of rapid peel.

I think the time limit is 10 years then destroy records after that.....but they should be archived before destruction, I agree.

The blue works well for it though....makes it look more antequated of a photograph.

Neat that the terminal below has such lovely details.

Glad to know it's going through restoration and cleaning.....instead of demolition, like so many of our architectural treasures.
