I did not mean busting it up like hell and taking out chunks illeagally, by the way. I meant to salvage it by full permssion of the owner. :)

Not only is it relatively easy to salvage a gorgeous piece of woodwork like this staircase, but it is also saving a piece of history. I have seen entire staircases like this for sale at a local contruction salvage depot. I hope preservationists make an attempt to save this and the fireplace in this abandonment before they get destroyed.

The metal protects the door from being scraped up by stretchers and wheelchairs. Otherwise, the door would need to be constantly repainted. Before automatic door openers, the door would be pushed open by the gurney, I think.

Believe it or not, when we bought our house, the KITCHEN and second floor HALLWAY were painted that hideous color. Our painter guy had one hell of a time painting over that nasty shit. :0

Those little octagons are the same exact ones that my bathroom floor is made up from. Must be from the same time period as my house.

I seem to remember a pink powdery soap coming from one like that I saw a long time ago. It was really weird soap, not liquid like today's kind. Kinda like pixie stix powder. Yum!

*sigh* I bet that safe is in a dump in a pile of rubble. :( It belongs on display down at the Heinz Regional History Museum. They should have made an effort to create a Dixmont exhibt like the above poster mentioned. The historical signifigance is so great it turns my stomach to know that it will all be forgotten and swept away in time. Kids will see the retail store in the place of the hospital never realizing that they are on land that is as signifigant as a civil war battleground. Greed makes me ill.
