Chair looks like it was caught in a ticker-tape parade... about 14 years ago.

Oh, if I could design my own home, I'd have a private library with shelves as abundant as this. This is gorgeous craftsmanship, I wonder if it's solid oak?

Is this the same building as that in the previous shot? The difference between the condition of the walls, floors, etc., is pretty stark.

I was gonna say, this building doesn't look nearly as decrepit as the others.

Hey, yeah... I can see the fire escape possibility.

It looks like a duplex.

Okay... referring back to my comment on the previous page... I love that woodwork. Who thinks to aesthetically enhance the sides of risers anymore?

If that doorknob was brass, it would have tarnished a LONG time ago. Since this was built before the shiny fake-brass coating they put on doorknobs now, I'd say it probably is a glass knob.

Check the woodwork on the sides of the stair risers. They just don't build stuff like that anymore! Makes me wonder what the banister looked like...

If the door were made of tempered glass, it would look eerily similar to the first microwave oven I owned.

You know a building has been abandoned a long time when the boards they put over the windows have started to decay.

That's an amazing number of wooden chairs left to simply molder away.

Ironic sign... "FIRE" pointing down, to the hole in the floor... caused by water.

I guess they didn't worry much about cross-contamination then? Hanging meat on hooks... back before plastic wrapping on everything.

Thanks for the new gallery, Motts! It may be architecturally under-stimulating, but somehow anything you photograph becomes interesting in its own right.
