Fordham university should buy this! They have been looking to expand; why not buy an island?

Did that wing over there burn at any point? (I didn't read much of the back-story on this building, so if it's in there, I missed it.) It looks as though there is charring above some of the windows.

Certainly takes the feel of a Kirkbride.

Why is one window bricked up?

Is that condensation on the inside of that light? It looks like it is, and there's what appears to be a small puddle at the bottom of the light between the glass and the chrome.

From what I can gather from Google, Saalfrank is a surname of German origin. The German word "Saal" literally translates to English as "Hall."

Sara, your brother was a cool kid. I called that conductor "Worker Man" and the ringmaster that came with the circus train was "Mr. Tuxedo" to me. That set was probably one of the first toys I remember owning.

Rock.

If any of you have played Half-Life 2 for the PC, I have two words: Nova Prospekt.

I wish they would let the remains stand and not tear them down for redevelopment. They should declare this a historical landmark.

I got a chance to get some "last time" pictures at Dixmont about a week ago. Logged on today and looked at the news, it's a good thing I made it there, it burned today, pretty extensive: http://www.thepittsbur.../5266625/detail.html
