Laura G -
Yes this gallery is making me sadder, too. I live in Virginia but was working in Houston at the time and living in a hotel. I vividly remember evacuees moving into the hotel and their 'shell shocked' expressions. As I'm looking at these photos, I keep wondering if some of the children I met in the hotel went to school here...sat at those desks...made those handprints...and how are they now?

Sigh...Google earth (updated in 2018) still shows it lonely and lying on its side in an empty field with no buildings around.

I agree, eldokid, one can definitely feel the silence and stillness. It's suprising, considering now close to the city and massive activity this is located. Great work, Motts!

I still have a pink phone like that on my kitchen wall and it works perfectly. It's great to have when the power goes out!

Fantastic! I want this as a wallpaper.

Something about this photo makes me sad....maybe its a combination of the loneliness of the empty yet once busy furnace room and the cold, dead furnaces waiting to be re-stoked by attendants who will never return.
