yes, I wonder too if it is the infamous Lynne. I want to say here and now that I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge, information and respect for Lynne and what she does. Before I found this site and went through EACH AND EVERY GALLERY and read EVERY SINGLE comment (whew!) I never knew this type of thing existed (Urban Exploration) and I also had no clue what went on in mental hospitals. For all I have learned I thank you. I have a much greater respect for people with disabilities now. And as for Mr. Motts, I wish I knew him personally and could travel with him doing this. I would gladly be his personally assistant and carry him AND his equipment (I should rephrase that) just to be able to do go to these places and see what he has seen. Makes my life seem like a total waste.

I think that's the color of decay -

lobotomies? Or is this PRE-lobotomy days - - LOVE the old office / medical equipment and furniture LOVE IT

holy cow

people that are bent on destruction of our world or Jihad or terrorism ought to take a look at this. This is pretty freightening to think that your world would be destroyed and you have to wear this to avoid being contaminated

I need one of these for my office when these women come in here with thier god awful rancid perfume on - one of these days I will find one, and sit at my desk wearing it - see if they notice

not to mention hauling away dead bodies. . .

I'm FREAKIN' SPEACHLESS! Can you imagine seeing board games like that in ToysRUs or Walmart? HA!!

I've been checking this site daily for weeks and today was surprised not only by two new galleries but by a revamped site. Nice work, love the new features. I did notice that on the location page at the bottom where you enter the photographs, it used to list how many comments were there along with how many pictures. Was that intentionally left out? Whatever, I am ADDICTED to this website and wish I could do this instead of sitting at this desk all day being bored out of my wits!

And AWAYYYY WEEE GOOOOOO!!

there comes a point in the life off all office equipment where it just is not practical to hold on to. We had a lease on a copier, I swear it was the first one ever made. The thing weighed a TON. Well, we ordered a new one and the company just wanted to leave the old one behind. They told us to toss (or push) it in the storeroom because they would charge us money to remove it. SO I imagine rather than pay money to haul this behemouth to a new location, it was cheaper just to order a new one. Same with furniture, file cabinets, fax machines etc. Speaking of fax machines. I would LOVE to find one of the first kind wherer you placed the phone handset in a cradle, put a piece of paper on this roller device, clamped it down with a metal piece, closed the lid and it would start to rotate. A pen device would scan across the rotating paper and after five minutes or more, you had your fax. Usually unreadable, but still pretty neat. We're talking late 1970's technology. Love old technology!!

just think of all the unclean teeth now that these are left behind. . . very emotional

The red hose looks like it was used for the "Big E" -

I've always had a fear of falling through a floor.

Here I go with my 2 cents, even though a little late. For me it isn't fans, it's jukeboxes I collect and restore. But I do it for the love of the machines, not to resell. The collectors who are out there to make a buck ruined it for a lot of us who just wanted to collect the machines for personal enjoyment. I recall finding jukeboxes in basements, garages, and attics (yes, attics) and paying $50 for them. Now you can't touch them for under many hundreds if original or thousands if restored. It's true I sold my share of them but only when I had to or needed the money. I also have a fondness for old buildings too and when the old clothing store I worked at in the 1970's was remodeling the front I asked if I could have the transom that was over the main door. This thing was HUGE and all cut glass, extremely art-Deco with the building number in the center, parts of it frosted, it was a beauty! It was gorgeous and I kept it in my living room, in it's sold oak frame for years lit with a back light. People admired it and asked where it came from. Unfortunately the rung of a rocking chair hit it and it shattered into a million pieces. But the point is, I asked before I took it, even though they were tossing it in the dumpster. Keep up the good work Mr. Motts, you certainly are inspiring to a lot of people.
