The "light fixture" or "soap dispenser" appears to be part of the plumbing, if you look at the top of the bedpan washer/urinal, it appears to be the same size as the hole in the wall. Copper robbers, or whoever, probably took the hook portion out of it.

; )

Such a beautiful structure, reminds me of a castle. The peaked windows with the awesome crowning on the top of the structure, absolutely gorgeous. It's really sad to see such an amazing structure go to waste, however, in a strange way, it makes it more beautiful to have the ivy and such being slightly over grown around it. Just amazing. It's really too bad that they don't build them like this anymore. It truly is.

I used to work at Accubite, a very very large dental supply company. The owner of the company, Dr. Costello actually helped create a more modernized version of bite trays for use. They are plastic, with soft mesh instead of hard plastic all the way throughout. The cool thing was, when he was first experimenting with sizing, comfort, etc... we got to be voluntary guinea pigs = D

One of the first trays he had tried out, were way to big to fit comfortably in one of my co-workers mouths, and caused her discomfort, because of that, he resized the sidings of the trays. Really neat stuff to be a part of. Unfortunately, the company closed a few years ago, with no explanation. The workers got to work on a Monday, were handed a box, and told to get their stuff. It saddened me greatly, as Doc C was a great person, and very caring. Sorry for the rambling, seeing these brought back memories.

You can see a not-so-great pic of the Neo Trays he helped create here:

(they are the neon colored ones, I don't care to remember how many of them things I had to count by hand during inventory days)

Mr. Motts I really hope you and your crew keep your own safety in mind when exploring places. This is truly scary O.O

Am I reading this correctly?

To me it states that the Maintenance division has only gone 82 days without an accident but the machine shop has been over 1880?

If I were to have seen this picture, alone, and not on this site, I would have sworn it was from a prison. It reminds me of the old prison numbers, just the way the yellow is such contrast to the blue. Maybe I'm alone on this one.

I would love a wallpaper of this, it's absolutely amazing.

It's the first photo I've seen that has made me jump back in my chair.

I'm not a claustrophobic person at all, but, I think a room with a wall leading to a door like this would definitely make me that way at least a little bit.

It makes sense to have it for security, but, it seems very vertigo inducing to me.

This may be an incredibly stupid question, but, was this on the first floor? I'm thinking it's not as the trees outside don't appear to be near trunk level.

Second part of "stupid question" if this is not on the ground level, was there at least a fire escape behind the windows?

Absolutely amazing. Truly beautiful

Wow.... Just wow...

Absolutely gorgeous. Wow...

I just came across this site at work, and I must say, of all the pictures I have seen, this set, by far, is the most interesting to me. It would be surreal to be inside of an abandoned place, and see something like this.

Keep up the good work Motts
