There was once a door there but the police at the time had it shut by them putting stones over it because kids were sneaking in at night to mess around with the paitents

Dang typos! :)

I saw this pic years ago and came back for a revisit. I too originally though this was such a sad pic and having read eldokid's comment I have changed my mind. The sadness goes to show how much value we place on things. We are not our things. Just think of how much crap we have that isn't even important to us let alone someone trying to retain a keepsake for memory. I know I have a lot... Even with a diary, there is could be a lot of interesting things in there for your family, but would you have written most of it if you ever thought someone else would read it? Sometimes it is best for things to be left alone and just keep the memories of others in our heads.

climbing up and down a straight vertical ladder is surprisingly difficult and tiring.

thanks. so this really is about as big as it feels in the shots!

Motts - What is the size perspective here? It looks several stories tall, but I can't get a good feel for the full scope. Amazing pictures though as always.

The ceiling and floor give the effect of flying towards the black arch.

Great title... very organic looking.

There's a pair just like this, modified for a 2000W Xenon lamp, still operating in The Historic Artcraft Theatre in Franklin, Indiana.

Probably purchased from the US...

it looks like little kiddie boats should be floating down. Just needs some music and animatronics on the sides.

I wonder if this was for a high wire type act?

Odd that something this would be left behind...
