Thanks for a great new gallery. I was so excited when I saw it appear - it was hard to finish going through the other one that I'd already started. Fantastic shots of an great factory with awesome history and future potential. Thanks again, for all of your efforts posting pictures of places I'll probably only be able to visit in my dreams.

Flushed, I just about covered my laptop in coffee! Man, you brought back some memories. I can't believe someone remembered that; I'm going to have it running through my mind all night. lol

This really reminds me of when I was in graduate school in the 1980s. The science building (my major was microbiology) was in an old parking garage that had been converted into a building - the ramps were even still there connecting the floors! This photo with the ramp and windows immediately took me back to my graduate years!

I think I'll vote for the explanation by nvusofmotts. Don't worry, I won't smack ya, lol

I don't know that I'd be running down a hallway that crooked, lol, I'd be leaning against the wall. Sorry, had to say that. It is a great pic, especially the way the windows line the entire side of the hall and light it full length.

This photo needs to be used in an advertising campaign for the city. Absolutely beautiful.

BG, that's the same way my mother taught me to remember the difference - holding on tight.

Who is that taking a picture at the top of the stairs leading to the upper landing in the back of the room? You don't have a clone do you? I don't think I've been drinking too many beers just yet, lol.

Life coming back in to what has been abandoned.
Beautiful shot.

I meant to also say...albeit smaller versions of our car battery. That astounds me that everyone would be wearing the 'liquid acid'. Seems very dangerous; but then, working in a mine wasn't all that easy!

Wow, Larry, you mean everyone was actually wearing acid.....like the batteries in our car????

Wonder what the artisans who worked so hard, diligently, and lovingly to build such a beautiful building would think if they could see it now? :-(

There are truly no words to describe the beauty and impact of this pic.

Thanks for the link to that video, Ron. It evoked such a range of emotions I"m not sure what I'm feeling right now.

Honestly, after so many decades of destruction, the US has very little architectural heritage remaining. Thank you Motts, for helping to preserve our history.
