Haha...I think this is awesome. I'd take the risk!!! @ Andrew...Keep exploring. This is awesome

I love old buildings Especially this one. I especially like the old abandoned insane asylumns. Very cool site you have here. Great pic's!

I often have wondered what happened to not just the mentally ill, but those kids who had been abandoned & landed there. I was there in the 70's & it took no time to become institutionalized.

@James. Thanks for pointing that out. I bet the bannister had beautiful details on it too!....I just love Motts' photos of staircases!

These places arent the only ones that leave there unused equipment, iv have come a pound special schools thatjust leave their equipment in close the doors in all that equipment is there to waste.

@Dylan. I've studied this photo extensively and...sorry, but I can't tell which it is. : (

@Binky. Great history of the Half-Brick! Heh! Heh! : )

I was thinking that it could have been used to move mail or packages on and off the trains. This could have been a mail room back in the day. Before the U.S. Mail had their own semi-trucks on the road, and moved mail by air, they moved much of the mail by rail.

Now this is VERY nice! I really like it in Black & White!

I've never cared for dark paneling. It's too depressing!

Oh Wow! What a GREAT architectural photo!!!

My understanding is that the number one reason ceilings get dropped in old buildings (especially really old houses) is to help save on energy costs. Namely, it supposedly helps save on the heating and cooling bills. However, I agree with most people that the old buildings just don't look as good when they drop the ceilings in them. : (

Another nice shot, Motts!

The minute I saw this I couldn't help but tear up. Such destruction! I detest scavangers!!!

And here I thought this place was awesome in the last photo! It really is a crying shame this once magnificent train terminal building has been allowed to go to waste, and deteriorate so much! : (

It's ALL so-o-o awesome!
