It's mindblowing....seeing then and now pictures, and hearing anecdotes of people staying here. This place is mystifying, and I can't quite put my finger on it. But I agree with the general concensus - brown shag carpet and a brown tub is like the WORST bathroom scheme ever.

I have to agree with griffyn - sadly, many of the abandoned places on this site are cleaner than my room and bathroom...*runs away*

This is like out of an explorer's dream...coming across this with all the chairs perfectly stacked and untouched like it was abandoned yesterday.

In fact I did have a dream about this place once...but I was someplace else that was near it and I wanted to find it, but I only found some sheds and the pool...*blush* I know I have no life...

Very nice, so serene and peaceful.

This reminds me of another location. Anyone seen the abandoned New Haven Motel on Route 12 in Wisconsin between Fort Atkinson and Whitewater? This looks like one of the abandoned "cabin" rooms. I just found out my uncle's neighbors know a lot about that place, including that some famous people stayed there, so I will find out a lot more soon. If you've heard of it, email me at jdfan63@hotmail.com

Anyways, this greenhouse is a really awesome find - I'd love to come across something like that while triapsing through the woods!

This reminds me of what is left of the Rouse house. I live a few miles from it, and its a creepy place. Some of you may have heard of it, its also known as "Murder Mansion." A kid murderded both his parents there back in the 80's and later it was turned into a illicit casino with mob connections and some guy was clubbed to death on the stairs. It burned down like 3 years ago when the owner was on vacation...the ruins have been left there and the greenhouse which has been partially burned still stands. Its weird, as this is right along a main road and is part of a neighborhood with houses right next door and across the street! Just goes to show how abandoned places are just left to sit.

i'm sure they're pretty out of date, medical schools probably wouldn't have a use for them

Wow, I know exactly where GlennDale is. Its very beautiful, in an eerie spooky kind of way. You take amazing pictures, keep up the good work! If you want, I can give you a couple more places in that state (not disclosing location)

No, the two motors at each end only power the two fans. There is another motor inside the central housing that makes the whole assembly rotate.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, these fans can fetch at least $2000 each. SOMEONE GET ME ONE!!!

You're right Jade...in fact there are many images of what could be hell on this site. And that is not referring to Motts photography, I mean the images he captures! LOL.
I love how the basement seems to glow, and you can see greenish walls and the extremely dirty tile. I feel really drawn to see whats down there for some reason.

Hmm...I can't picture what a drop ceiling looks like at the moment...do we have any pictures on this site of such?

^ lol silkster you have a point there!

Like 4 years ago, before I got my braces put on, I had 4 teeth pulled at once...fun. So I'm getting my braces put on, writhing in pain, and they say "oh, that's right, you recently had teeth pulled didn't you?" "No, I just normally have FOUR BIG GAPING HOLES in my mouth!"
Sorry, painful experience lol. And having stitches in your gum is no fun either. But at least the chairs are comfortable. If I knew a place was going to be bulldozed within a month, I'd be tempted to off with one of them.

Nauseous,I had the same exact reaction when i began looking at this gallery.I thought about it and i wondered for a moment if that feeling was abnormal ,and i've deceided its maybe a reaction to something so beautiful and powerful that my mind couldnt figure it out for a second.Some of the photos on this site have literally take my breath away for a moment or two .Motts, your work is truely breath taking.

Traction ... I've had the modernized version of it, not quite as painful as the machine there makes it look.
