That's the sort of pad they put on those benches in a previous pic which ensures the edges cut into your hamstring if you sit for very long. I guess they used the same designs in the non-prison settings where people were residing in government custody or care in the rest of Essex County too.

As old as all that looks that pipe covering in the top corner looks to be modern fiberglass with Zeston fittings.

Or "Ballast"

Ugh tragically familiar gummint housing.

Plans for reuse go ahead

I suspect that the coffin is actually 6ft under and that mock coffin of stone is actually a planting bed. the one next to it is of the same design. I may be wrong.

Thank You Mica

the graffiti over the door say Redfox on the right door but I can't make out what it says over the left door.

I wonder if it is possible to build a new building and design it to have plants growing out of it like that?

I scrolled through this last night. I was and still am a bit heartsick. I had thought that it was only Detroit and NOLA that had been allowed to fall into ruin. I dare not look into the story further it would probably keep me stuck to the puter all day and make me even sadder.
The facade is fantastic as is the Murphy building. I guess if those western gold/mineral boom ghost towns had gotten this big maybe they would look similar?

REally nice stone work

It's really cool in the Clint Eastwood movie "Tightrope" up on the top level where just the dome peeks through the floor it or one of the copper kettles had a neon Dixie sign next to it in the movie. I'm watching it now.

The pellets are for burning to make heat. This is a modernity invented in the 70-80's to make wood stoves more efficient to save wood. They can be used anywhere you burn wood.

I should say the original sign on that building which is faded was magenta in color in the faded triangles and the border of the circle. The signs I found on Amazon are yellow where the real ones would be magenta. Its an off purple color specifically used on signage relating to radiation and the nuclear industry.

Here ya go Eldo
