Thanks BillDoor!!

These are phenol resin chairs. Tough stuff, but it does fracture. In this case they both broke where screws attached them to the steel chair frame.

Steel screws, rust, semi-porous material, high humidity. Not a great combo.

It's probably simply coincidence they fractured in a similar way.

Awesome!

That's pretty awesome!

Amazing just how quickly an abandoned building deteriorates.

The lights are fluorescent fixtures. I've not seen versions with so many tubes on them but I seem to recall seeing images from the abandoned Gary, IN post office before it got throughly trashed that were quite similar fashioned lights.

Interesting, it rather looks like an EMD 645 with the supercharger.

Sort of looks like a past arson attempt considering the layer of black soot 2/3rds up the wall

Also many skylights were covered up for energy reasons during the 70's. An astoundingly huge number of buildings were butchered to lower heating costs during that period.

Probably something similar to a Teddy Ruxpin, though I can say without a doubt it isn't. The 'muzzle' is all wrong for that toy.

It never fails to amaze me how rapidly a unmaintained space deteriorates. This facility hasn't even be disused for half a decade yet.

decubiti, oh my. Look this up in Google images. YIPES! Don't do so while eating or just after if you're the queazy type.

C-Note;
Well, I can see the film gate and a guide wheel in addition to an empty focus ring, a hand feed crank, a motor connected via a small round rubber belt and film reels. If it's not a 16mm projector it is doing a good job of looking like one.

If yuh can Motts, I really think this should be wallpaper sized :)

Nice shot of the lineshafts!
