It's so interesting to see what the walls used to look like before they were updated/covered up. Unfortunately the beautiful building supplies of yore were not economic, or probably in this case, sanitary. What makes me even angrier is drop ceilings.

"Who the hell are you?"

This is incredibly beautiful. Magic.

In some cases, there is a difference between vandalism and graffiti. Some people put a lot of time and thought into their pieces, and others just take a can of spray paint and write their name. Like they own the place. Either way, it takes away from the aesthetic decay of these beautiful, ancient buildings.

The shadow of the sink actually looks like a swan! The faucet is the neck.

It does look like the same structure in that video. Same shape and everything, it's just hard to tell because of the forest surrounding it.

You are such a fantastic photographer. I model so I have seen the work of many, many photographers, but your photos are just so magical. Every single one is a work of art. Never stop taking pictures, you are a gift to the world.

This looks like the inside of my 1950's pinball machine.

Enbalming used to be done with 2 glass jars. One for the blood, one for the embalming fluid.

@Stax This would of been my dream for college sadly I am about 28 now. I was born after its prime. It deserves all the attention in the world now, just wish there was something that could be done, or at least someone passionate about keeping that memory alive that had the money to do so.

I wouldn't mind seeing the college re open by pure magic :3 would be awesome!

@Jane and you too! Hopefully she is still standing and the wind storm didn't reach her like it did my house and knocked out a few of my columns on the porch overhang D:

Halcyon forever ~

nah, it is next to the part of the building that just collapsed ~

Well Pat, if it means anything, if I was rich, or won the lottery, the first thing I'd do after.... a few life insurance policies *ahem I'd probably be hands on fixing this thing* is dump 100 Million Dollars into the rebuilding, asbestos removal, and restoration of any carving/design work.

Including the side project of the demolition of the expansions around her, I find them an architectural eyesore, and besides.. those buildings look in even worse shape in terms of foundation than Halcyon Hall.

Also I'd want to restore the original Dining Hall building at the end of the West Wing that was presumably demolished for expansion in the early 1900s. I think that general area is now the Auditorium. Improving it's fire safety... would be wise, so exact replication of the interior may not be ... wise.

and no matter what I wont let her fall back into this shape ever again, I'd have an insurance on her that will last 500 years if necessary, if electricity needs to be turned off, for whatever reason, the water will be drained and turned off beforehand! and there will be a fund to keep her in good shape while she is vacated.

That is my dream anyway... fell in love with her from the first picture, never fell in love with a building before until I saw it by random chance on reddit. She should probably have a photo on the Queen Anne Building wiki page. I'll see to it when I get the chance~

Correct me if I am wrong, but is this the 2nd level of the turret building?

and I wouldn't recommend moving that door :P which is probably crushed by now anyway...

Is it weird that even though I've never been in this building that I know where this is exactly? lol I think i've been spending to much time trying to recreate it in a game... :S
