It looks like the yellow was painted over the original marble on the walls.

While it would have been a lot of work to put those tiles up there the difference between this place and most of the open buildings on this site is the ceiling is still intact here. It looks perfect instead of being a layer of mush on the floor. Nobody builds to last anymore...

Where the upper walls marble?

Autoguy - I had that same thought looking at this set. It would have all been destroyed here in the states.

The workers must still be on strike!

Amazing to find these basically left behind. I don't know what else you would do with them, but still amazing.

Thanks you. Thank you

The light makes it look like it would be a commonly visited place, but everything about it looks so deserted. Wonderful.

The First Thing I Thought About When Seeing This Picture Was "Forever Frozen In Time"

Just went down there for the first time. It's awesome. I also just finished a map of the Rochester Subway. It's a view of how it might have looked in 2008 if it were still around. It's based on proposed lines. Shows where new subway stops may have been added. Also has an article explaining the history of the subway... http://www.rochestersu...bway_poster_2008.php

The nerve of the staff at this place to actually feed the babies. Grrrrrr... (I am shaking my fist in a very sarcastic manner).
You would find the same thing at any hospital today, although I hope it would be a little cleaner and wouldn't have Mr. Motts cool lighting!

yeah me too i freakin luv this place

Motts, I gotta say, your photos are awesome. Generally how dark is it in here?

We just drove past here the other day, and my friend told me about it. I'd love to go in there and check it out, but looking online, it looks like the grounds span over miles of neighborhoods and golf courses and the like. Anybody have some kind of map or can point me in the right direction as to where to park and what buildings to check out (without getting arrested/shot at, of course)? Some friends of mine want to go. If anybody has been there before and would be able to give some insight or advice it'd be greatly appreciated!

Not as bad as it sounds... it's a motor function test. Like finger to nose (while standing on a white line on the side of a road!).
