Since this Monday is my birthday..... Thank you

that would make a very interesting household bathroom appliance, of you could find a square seat...

my question is: What was at the top of the escalator?

I feel the same way as Freespirit, especially when I am in an empty airport. It’s like the energy of those who pass through somehow lingers. In the same sense an abandoned hospital may have the emotions of those who were patients.

I used to be in the foundry business. Or to be more precise I sold supplies to them. One place I visited on the day where they had an instance where a golf ball sized drop of molten iron dropped straight into a workers head. It did not stop until it hit the floor. (edited version)

My guess: The bottom of a tank designed to hold some sort of (non molten) liquid, water perhaps. The slope of the base probably leads to a drain in the center.

Fermenting tanks, or something similar. the doorway is just for maintenance access. the arrangement is just a way of saving space. I saw something similar at the old Pabst brewery in Milwaukee Wisconsin, the tanks were in high narrow building where they actually has to remove brickwork to remove them from the outside of the building. Sounds weird that something like that should not be on the ground floor, being so large.

one thing I notice is how the glass (from this side) appears to be intact, as well as most of the chrome trim. Despite the surface rust, a real dedicated person could probably restore this car.

Note to self: don't go down these stairs in the dark.

what's the diameter of that pipe? Kind of hard to tell with not object for comparison.

I would be tempted to hold the camera lens up to the hole in the door, just to see what showed in the picture.

So the question not yet asked, but so obviously must be asked is:

Did you use.........??

What a coincidence, mine are Tuesday and Friday too. :)

Are those arches bricked in, perhaps cutting off a portion of the room?

I wonder how many intact grave markers went home with people over the years. Probably left behind because of it's condition? On a more positive note, I bet people of this era would never have imagined their lives would be chronicled, and posted on a website, lasting beyond what was marked on their grave.
