I agree, they knew how to build stuff back then. Buildings today don't seem to have the craftsmanship they once had.

Ditto on that for sure!

So what was this area actually used for?

so they actually used the water from this creek to brew with?

fall in that thing and you would be getting the shaft

Reminds me of The Enchanted Forest gallery!

can you imagine somehow falling in one of these. . . never to escape!

On second thought. . . if that's the employee manual from the prior photo, then I think I would have left it to finish rotting. Before I get yelled at, I know taking things is "taboo" and I would NOT do that. It is nice to think about though.

Although I know it's not allowed, but I would have loved to snag that book.

That's a lot of corn mash!

Is that a light bulb still lit on the right near the back or is it the sun reflecting off something? My eyes are slowly getting worse every day, but I still come here to enjoy the photos!!

I always wanted to live in a castle, this place is gorgeous! I could definitely live here.

BKW - you're correct, there were two sets of doors, the outside doors on the floor, and the inside car doors of the elevator. And Flushed, no I didn't have to say what was on the floors (thank god!), there was a directory by each elevator door that told what was on each floor. Matter of fact, I have one of these when they remodeled the place and took them down, I snagged one (with permission of course!)

I can just imagine the over-powering smell!

This building looks like it was made out of one of my favorite toys as a kid (and adult), American Plastic Bricks, same style of brick and window units, pretty cool.
