That's a beautiful shot. Really appreciate all the work that goes into this site.

Very cool. It looks like the opening at the base was once much larger and got bricked over.

That's like asbestos paper mache. Liquid ammonia is still used for large scale commercial freezers.

I wonder if it was part of how they balanced them? I can't think of many reasons why there would have been so many. Being square is interesting as well. They had to be made that way and not drilled.

Wanderer - You should check out videos of how that worked. It's pretty cool how it functioned as a governor. Definitely worth seeing.

Same here, I probably would have overlooked him too.

Cool. I had a Vic-20 in the day as well. The little brother to the Commodore 64!

Interesting how the paint hasn't peeled in an arch shape over the door. Wonder what is under the layers of paint? Might have been a nice feature at some point.

They seem to be missing a few elements on that chart. :)

Yup, that would be a lot of hot water hanging on the wall. Seems like that type of massive wall array is just used for backstage areas.

Based on the holes where the wall has pulled away from the anchor bricks, this looks to be fanning out for easily 60 courses. Amazing.

Santa must be kept out at all costs!

I think we are seeing at least 3 layers of bricks. That is an amazing amount of labor.

Interesting, that does look like a gap for a gate at the top but that would likely require a track down the sides to work. Really curious what that was for...

I bet they were even more skeevy after the sleepover.
