At first glance on a small monitor it looked like smooth wood paneling. First thought was wow...that's in amazing shape....oh wait, maybe not.

Oh man, still active motion sensors? I love that sort of stuff! You have to wonder though, if the place closed down and is supposedly abandoned, why would there still be power? Someone must still be paying for electricity to run the lights. Also, Motts, were these motion sensors the only things stilla ctive? Was there power in the rest of the building? If not, what section was this? It actually looks in fairly well preserved shape compared to the rest of the shots.

Is that a rotted hole in the floor to the left?

to add onto what Secretattic1 said in the first comment, you have to wonder if those scratches in the door are from some poor soul clawing at the door trying to escape the pearly white prison.

It seems more a look of desperation than one of violence. She seems to be pleading with someone, the look in her eye whispers "help me..."

Motts, how long was the exposure for this one?

Next time dont knock so hard!

It's just hilarious that they would go to the trouble of plastering the sinks............and leave the soap.

Imagine though, years ago, some crusty old captain navigating through a nasty storm from that very bridge, bringing the ship safely home and thanking it for holding together...makes me feel all nostalgic. Tis what I get for listening to "the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" this morning.

Don't you mean the lighting and the DEcomposition?
Har har har...

Back then they wanted the masses to be proud of their accomplishment. This was the largest power plant of it's day, a temple to the great god of electricity. Of course they wasted no effort or expense melding utilitarianisim with asthetics.

Those lights on the board to the right of him are lit up! What are those monitoring? Are they tied into the transformers that are still running?

Makes you wonder though, were all those panes of glass originally clear? if so, think of the dazzling amount of light the place must have been under in the noonday sun.

Lynne, love the info. Please keep it up

the face doesnt look very happy ;)
