Another great picture alone. But I think cupid looking out of the window would be a nice touch too.

If there were bigger windows, it would be nicer in there.

It would be nice to race down the hall with, if it weren't rusty looking.

For pjrichard and absynthe,
Those post mortem photos was a thing in the Victorian Era. It wasn't a morbid thing then since the Civil War, diseases, and high mortality was frequent and Death was very much a part of life. 3 out of 5 children wouldn't live to see their seventh birthday in most common families. That is why most families were large, the value of life wasn't as we see it today. Post mortem photography was a way to hold on to a loved one, especially small children. www.anamorfose.be/postmortem.htm
This sight has examples, but I didn't partake in looking on this sight. I don't have the strong emotion enough to look. But an interesting fact is that most of the people wore black because of it, that tells me it is the origins of Goth. Since Goth means Gothic, or Victorian Gothic.

Stained glass windows?.....I weep for their loss! Is there no respect for hard work in art? Stained glass isn't just stamped out of a factory! Someone's workmanship is lost forever!!!

This place reminds me of the renovated church I once lived in.

Tearing this place down is a terrible waste of resources. Renovation is key, so long as it doesn't cheaply cover up the beauty.
