You gotta see what they have done to this poor building... After our historical flood the gates that actually go across both sides of this bridge were leaking pretty bad, I mean thank god they didnt break cause the whole city would have been under water but alot of the water that did leak threw went into the basement of the Sterling. The city is telling the public that there is structural damage and it can't be repaired. They have millions in grants and even got money from the public to repair this old building and now there just shutting it down. Personally i think they just needed an excuse... They took the money and blew it on... Whatever... They even closed of half of the road cause there saying it could fall at anytime supposedly they don't have the money to tear it down either.... It's rediculious.... In its Hayday this place was probably amazing. Back then a person worked on the tile, railings, trimming by hand it wasn't stuck in a machine and had a button pushed... MOTTS brings this back to life! I've been on this site ever since I found it on 3 days ago continuously. Thank you for doing what you do Motts and I'm glad I get to comment on it too!

You know that everyone calls these a Morgue, but really when you think of it, it's actually a walk in freezer, just like you would see in a restaurant, but with the exception of there being lots or doors on the front, and with pull our tables that the bodies lay on. When you go to your local gas station, or grocery store's freezer section, it looks just like what you see here in the picture, but with big glass doors that you pull open and there's shelves where they place the milk and ice cream on, and if you look straight to the back you can see the rest of the cooler where the shelves are stocked from the back side, so basically a morgue is a modified walk in cooler like exactly what you see in your local neighborhood grocery store, gas station or restaurant. I know because I am a refrigeration repair guy, and have seen many of these.
