I don't think so, I think some of these "lab" rooms were clustered together in a relatively unfinished part of the basement. I recall being in this room, parts of the giant precision scale were still there. Wish I snapped some photos of it...

Ah, yes - Red Dragon was the movie that was filmed here which I was thinking of. Thanks!

There's something called a Lenspen that will get most of it off, with a gentle hand.

Can't remember - if prices were on there they were probably in marks, and so I really wouldn't know the equivalent exchange rate :-)

Actually the mold is the white stuff on a dark wall.

Hotelaufgang (hotel exit)
Spielzimmer (playroom)

Sewing machine sounds right to me!

Luckily it was far enough away not to be terrifying, just startling. I actually never figured out which floor gave way - the place can be pretty maze-like and floors collapse every so often, changing the lay of the land.

Thanks - no I haven't really felt anything definitive (yet). After being in well over 100 abandoned institutions, I don't think it will happen at all...

Yup.

"its people that break and enter that make abandomed buildings be torn down"

Not sure how you came to this conclusion. From what I've seen over the years, these buildings are demolished due to availability of funds, transfer of property, politics, or arson (as opposed to taking photos).

Norwich was always pretty wide open, no breaking necessary.

It appears to still be standing as of 10/2011, however demolition seems imminent.

I believe it was for the lecture hall.

Not sure when I'd be in Dansville again.... who knows!

I haven't been back to Henryton; I think I enjoyed the odd duotone colors painted throughout the buildings the most, but as you say it's probably all behind spray paint these days. Thanks!
