Old Simplex 35mm projectors with a carbon-arc light source. They still have one of these running in a theater in western Kansas.

It's a Hunter, and yes it is worth a lot of money.

Why do these corridors remind me of Half-Life 2?

Looks like an old elevator intercom.

Elevators like that should be preserved; they ought to take it out and rebuild it elsewhere.

Antique safes often are handpainted with nature scenes on the outer door or on the inside.

There was good reason for them having the place locked down. There was very sensitive information being stored inside the facility and they wanted to make sure nothing leaked out.

It is very possible that they ran a flea market in here once.

They ought to clean it up and take it out of there along with the support equipment.

That sure is an aspirator, possibly made by DeVilbiss.

I hoped they cleaned more of the place out before it was demolished...

Pierre de Mondriann was actually a very good artist as was shown in many of his earlier works drawing plant life.

I once knew someone who had MS and she would stand in one of these for two hours out of a day...not sure what for, but most of the time she would use a power chair to get around.

They used even older ones at the middle school I went to . They dated to the 1930s and still were completely functional.
