Those are whiskey barrels. 1,000,000 barrels at one point years and years ago. The largest storing complex in the world at its time. If your going to post info please be accurate. I was at this complex. Look up Kinsey Distillery.

Wine was never stored here. Those are old whiskey barrels. This was at one time the largest storing complex in the world. 1,000,000 barrels of whiskey. FYI.

I believe the porch was removed by the developer and would be placed back onto the building during the restoration process, rather than having it continue to deteriorate or get scrapped remaining on the structure.

It's a track for a big old operating lamp, which was probably taken away for scrap or salvage. Here's a photo of an intact one: http://opacity.us/imag...6_operating_room.htm

Yes that is an intercom, but more specifically it is the nurses' call bell system. A handheld pendant would be plugged into that round connector on the left. The patient could press the button and the nurse would be called to the room. At the nurses' station, they could talk back and forth with the patient to find out what it is they needed before coming to the room to attend to them.

Makes one think of the old Tombstone Epitaph, "As you are now so once was I; as I am now so you shall be." There once was a time when women were buried with expensive jewelry.. Animals could only get to the remains after vandals had broken in..

I love Cemeteries and Mausoleums!! It's sad but interesting to see the destruction of people's last resting places.. This is often what happens when the place is full, and no more money is coming in to pay for upkeep.. Thanks, Motts!!
