Motts: With your knowledge of these places, would you say the caging was a later addition? I'd think when it was built, this safety measure was not in place. Maybe later due to necessity it was added. (It has been mentioned before that building codes...etc, are always changing....)

Avalon Bay is a land parasite: They are responsible for the destruction of a lot of property for profit here in my CT city.
It's unbelievable that the Danver buildings couldn't somehow be saved intact-just think, it could possibly redeem itself!

The buildings are so majestic. I'm glad the windows were boarded-shows a little respect not to leave them to be shattered and fogged up.

Chim-chiminy , chim-chiminy, chim-chim-cheroo....!
The clarity of your photo makes me want to reach out and touch one!

Amazing and perfect

In reference to the flooring: I think it was just used for the same reason it is used in schools and other institutions- as Mr, motts stated- as a design to break the monotony.The material itself is relatively cheap, and it is able to handle wear well. It probably is not the original flooring, given the year the institute was built. There are manufacturers that cater to the needs of institutional, governmental, municipal (etc) buildings providing them with mass manufactured items (There are the bentwood chairs and their history : they were created by Thonet in the 1800s as a new and cheap provision of seating for all sorts of institutes and restaurants- I'm a proud collector! )
The tiles don't look too dated and were probably purchased in the mid 1900s.
Um, I've said to much! : -)

LOL ! 8-)

So this is how "going postal" got started!

...yes, Motts ( LOL ) they could use the air holes to breath through whether on tippy-toe or laying down...I can almost see fingers hooked through the bottom holes....

I LOVE the centering of the chimney within the drive! Great color contrasts....

...and all the while, with a serene smile.... : )

Definately an add-on to shield from the rain.

Motts! Really, really beautiful color contrast between the building and the light blue sky
LOVE IT!

...felt a little vertigo there!
