With more wiring I would suggest it was a server rack for computer hardware. Would have been a very strange place to put it though. Maybe it once held a TV and shelf for a VCR/movies?

Interesting that they needed to reinforce what looks like an already strong door.

How do you remember the details so long after taking the pictures? Do you capture notes of interesting things when shooting?

It is hard to believe there hasn't been a short or wire break based on the condition of the building.

As ugly as they are sometimes, this is why they are everywhere...

a repeater would likely be the cellular antennas you see on top of a lot of buildings. Potentially could also be a transmitter for a public service group (fire/police).

Something really wanted out of those jars...

This looks more like the lobby of an old theatre than an office.

Thanks. That makes perfect sense now. My mind just wouldn't pull this one together.

That open panel was every prisoners dream. Well, their second dream each night...

Looks like it might have had a door to the adjoining cell long ago. Kinda like the adjoining doors in an older hotel. The window into the main hall is interesting. Can't say I have noticed that before although newer building would use a full wall of bars. I guess that helped get light into the hall back in the day.

Motts - I'm having trouble understanding what I'm seeing. The lock (which is very cool) looks to be inset into the brick and controls a cell door about 3 feet off the ground. All of that looks to be in a small space inside another cell door. I may be way off base though.

I would be shocked if that pipe on the left isn't wrapped in asbestos...

The fog and fall colors add such a peaceful filter over everything.
