Old sprinkler line before it was renovated perhaps? Hard to say...

Fla. Gator, unfortunately the vertical photos don't make great wallpapers, as almost half the image gets cropped out (especially for the wide screen monitors).

Thanks, didn't get a peek inside the homes...

Had a foot go through the floor up to the thigh; pulled it out and there was a good thirty feet of nothing underneath except pointy metal. It was very scary.

Thanks! I remember some shredded mesh window screens blowing in the wind...

An assortment of garbage; lots of clothes.

Hm, perhaps the cold blast refers to the fresh air line before it's heated by the stove, and not necessarily a cold blast furnace system...

Thanks, yes a flashlight was used in this very dark space.

When patients would exhibit violent tendencies (eg. hurting themselves or others), staying in this room for a few hours alone would be a way for them to "cool off" without being agitated by anyone.

It's been gone for almost five years now...

Ah, I knew it was some division of the company on the hill, thanks!

Unfortunately it was too dark to expose the bottom of the ladle with the wide lens I had on at the time, and there wasn't any time to swap it out... didn't want to stay in this building very long either.

Yes most of them did, as these hospitals were quite large and needed their own steam supply to heat the massive buildings and their water supplies.

Yeah I scoped it out, it was a crouching space that accessed the engines from underneath; I remember a basement-like area under that space, but it was flooded with a few feet of water.

Yup :-)
