Tin, pretty pattern - they rust, streaked - i stare and always wonder how the are fastened - these they are ALL up there - so some old-school ingenuity mos.def.

these asylums are awesome.

It hasn't been demolished! I just went today. It's mostly broken glass and graffiti now but still totally cool and not demolished.

probably barefoot as well as chunky...this is Taunton

Saddened to hear, that work has begun on her & time is running out on the old gal.

Pardon my spellcheck. **Oakleigh Thorne **

So all are aware, the property has been purchased by the wealthy local Oakleigh Throne, as well as another private corp. Amount of purchase was not disclosed. The plans are to tear her down and make the property into a park, leaving some of the original stone in tact. The locals are happy that Thorne bought the property. He IS Millbrook. I'm still very disappointed to hear its coming down. Hopefully, if there's anything at all to be salvaged, they'll honor its integrity and surprise us. It will be a sad time for all when she comes down. August 2014 update.

I see this building everyday. It is far from being structural. But this use to be a steel town and most of the city is this way. Any thing that would be structural sound on restoring anything in this town would be a waist of time and effort. I have explored a few buildings they smell of homeless people. I believe you can see this place in the movie OG or Original Gangster. It is a shame just because it looks like it was a beautiful building at one time. But when the steel mills laid off people and people needed work they left.

I love the cupola and eave detail. This is a wonderful gallery, thanks so much for posting and sharing, Mr. Motts. I look forward to your next one.

That is a beautiful breezeway, in amazing condition. Love the curved windows, and the hardwood ceiling.

Wow, a very primitive adjustable bed. I wouldn't want to get my arm caught in there.

Is that a public address speaker on the wall?

Fabulous shot - the reflection of the light on the design in the ceiling.

What a fabulous swirl on the floor. Thanks for spotting it Mr. Motts.

A much narrower passage than in the other photos. Love the tin ceiling.
