Yay! New pictures. Nice treat to start the weekend. What a great building. Tony C. above beat me to it...great brickwork. Imagine how much that would cost to have done these days. I'm off to look a the rest of 'em :-).

Steph: Oh, you HAVE to rent/see "IT". Old-fashioned creepy (the movie's old) but ..geez....(shudders). And I'm not a wimp :-0..:-)....just hate clowns.
Sweed: Certainly :-). What color would you like? :-).
Motts: What was in this room? Looks like a regular patient room with the tiny window. Wonder why they used those gross colors..yuck.

EEEWWW! (buries face in hands). (Please pre-excuse a tiny bit of "yelling"..It just h a s to be done this time...;-0.)...WHY WHY WHY are clowns always found in these places (other than after-the-fact grafitti), having been put there by some misguided soul to "make it a little nicer"???? Clowns ARE NOT, and have NEVER been, FUNNY! They are not "CUTE", they are not "CHEERFUL", and they most certainly don't "BRIGHTEN" a room..... ANYWHERE!!!!!! (takes a breath). Do a n y of you, or anyone you've ever MET (who wasn't weird ;-)), actually think clowns are "adorable", "whimsical", or otherwise pleasant? Clowns, in any form, should be banned from the planet...(OK, don't worry, I'm already reaching for a "chill pill"....). Sorry, but I simply don't see what painting these hideous creatures on ANYthing does to "improve" anything....Ok, I'm going away now...

Wow. The colors in and of this room alone would be enough to MAKE me mentally unbalanced...

Look closely, and you can see the reflection of someone's grey or blue eye in the wiped-out area just to the right of, and slightly above, the very center. Lips, too, lower down (nice touch, Motts ;-)). Great title, too, BTW.

Filthy! (Looks possible (PROBable?) that the stains could have happened BEFORE the building was abandoned..not a pretty thought). If that was the case, I hope these were just being stored in here waiting to be hauled to the dump.....wouldn't want to think of anyone actually sleeping on that ;-0!

Amazed: .......but a good pun, either way ;-).

...OK, I can't resist.."the original Green Mile" :-)

Now that's something I'd like to see.

.....and shapes (doorway vs window vs ceiling).

Nice contrast of angles and colors.

Hey, Hey. First comment! :-). Fresco!! (I think)....or wait, maybe not.....

Wow! Been a while since THOSE doors have been closed (or all the way open). Joe: Maybe powdered plaster and debris from the collapsed ceiling? Does look like sand. Wonder what the original floor looked like...:-)

Motts: Thanks for the info. Temperature guages make sense. Hadn't though of that . Been visiting for about 2 years now, I think, and still love your shots. I've got to find some places near me to check out. Meanwhile, keep 'em coming.....(please and thanks ;-))

Wow. Love the unusual curves! Needs a tiny bit of elbow grease and a quick touch-up of the paint , though. Maybe an hour or two of work in an afternoon?....;-). Anyway, it still kind of makes my stomach lurch to see such beautiful work charred and blackened. Such a waste :-(.
