The disco ball with it's missing mirror tiles, kinda looks like a globe to me. A planet where the party never stops and Bee Gee records never break!

Considering this pic was posted and first commented on almost 4 years ago and here I am with Winter Stardust in 2011 still commenting on it, I think that means it's a great picture! And I have to say, That is the most BIZARRE ceiling I've ever seen!

I just love that it says "POZ 4 ME" and you took a picture!

I'm gonna say the stairs used to be yelllow years ago and there was a very large, immobile piece of equiptment butted up against the stairs and the boss one day decided he wanted to redecorate and had the workers paint everything blue and so they just painted around that piece of whatever, hence the 90 degree angle to the yellow stripe...just a theory!

Yeah i've been recently too, everything is boarded up but yesterday there was a backhow and a lift thing out back by the smokestack. Does anyone know if they're going to tear it down? Also yeah i've had a couple of wierd things happen too, batteries that suddenly die, camera won't focus, can't get lighting right. All sorts of wierd stuff. I haven't ventured in yet, and right now i don't really plan to.

when was this built, and when was it vacated?

I'm almost expecting to see Crusaders milling about!

also I forgot to mention, notice the low rise on the steps, allowing for the longer dresses that were the fashion during this buildings construction to be accessed with discretion.

Back in 1890, it was a taboo for any "decent" lady to lift the bottom part of her skirt even for the purpose of acsending steps....no self respecting lady EVER showed her ankle or anything above it.
