The light spilling out of the room makes it seem there's still life going on inside it.
Ohhh...ohh..oh. LucieLou... so January 2010 was cold in New Orleans?
It was really cold here in S.Sweden, Jan. 2010 - with an incredible amount of snow - which is very unusual. Small world. Mr.M. brings us together.
Exquisite icicles..............delicate
It is pleasant to be wrong; always thought of New Orleans with warm silky nights and hot sunny days - and here there is all this ICE. Lots of Pretty Ice. Quite stunning transparent icicles melting wet away.

I personally would like to see the evolution of total collapse- what a magnificent happening

That is a siren. The kind that wails with a varying pitch.

Pat I've seen a few images of the West wing as recent as last year from inside. While there are some areas where floors are shakey. I don't think west wing is anywhere near total collapse.

I cannot determine the condition of the expansions added to Halcyon, but judging from roof condition, west wing has the least wear of the three primary sections. The "Center Wing" which links east and West is definitely close to a total collapse. An extended dormer in the courtyard also collapsed on the otherside similar to the primary one we see often in photos.

Of the four original halcyon hall parts, and based off of recent interior exploration videos. I'd say the east east wing ( turret ) building has a good 20+ more years. West Wing maybe 10-15.
