if you only worked in a place like this you could only imagine the hell these people went through,

this is great. why would they tear this down? i would love to spend one night in this place before it goes.

Jesus! Look at those colours. Those are just...entrancing. Oh, and not to mention the angle of the shot is just totally awesome.

this is fantastic. i would stay there in a heartbeat,

I really like the spectrum of colours streaming through the window. It's just beautiful...like a lost treasure.

the wind must move through here, it seems the debris on the floor have been blown away as the wind blew down the stairs...

Ragdoll,

I will email you. On my way to class right now actually:)

umm okay, so is it wrong that I have one...sans the arms and back, but I keep the lid flipped down and use it as a side table next to my futon. Visitors are usually like ohhh neat, what is it? (while flipping the lid up) then they see the commode part and say, "ohhh" or "ewww"...I never thought of the actual "hundreds of people" possibly using it though...thanks Lynne...Oh well, I still like my side table...I think...

Mariposa- (if you get this) I have a BA (curently working towards an MBA...one day) in Historic Preservation with a focus on architectural history, analysis, conservation and presevation. If you have any questions about getting into the field or courses you should take feel free to email me at ragdolledwahine@gmail.com. It's good to know there are others out there who want to and are willing to preserve these structures...

I love the dilapidated state of this room. I'm always attracted to scenes like this. The colors are so rich and the tones are very warm. I like that you can imagine exactly how it looked when it was, and still see it as it is now.

I agree. It has a very strong sense of memory, or a flash back.

cue the cheesy Theramin music!

Hmm... Isn't a voilent ward supposed to be painted in a calming color? That red doesn't look all that calming to me...

Every one of them knew that as time went by they'd get a little bit older and a little bit slower, but....Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine, Number NIne
