beautiful!

Love clocks. Nice pics.. love this web site.

IF you had asked the project manager, you would have been given PERMISSION to take pictures and been given FACTS about the history and current status, which is NOT to tear it down. Instead, you trespassed. You are a very good photographer and your pictures are very nice, but seems you cannot read "NO TRESPASSING." Just have to wonder about folks who feel they have the right to go on and into private property. You probably had to break in to some of these buildings. Sad. These pics could be so appreciate had you just asked and been given legal permission to be there. IF you are truly interested in this building, the project manager will be glad to answer your questions. BTW, trespassers caught can be arrested and charged. Do it right. Get permission. You are clearly talented so use your brain.

Wow! I wonder if this was the inspiration for the stair case in American Horror Story?

Autoguy, I had the same thought. It will take a lot of "ghost hunts" to maintain this place.

why did they overpaint the beautiful flowers with that ugly blue?

This is a kind of fan-art, 100% sure :D
Let's all place light bulbs in soap dispensers :D

Hi Motts, these photos are awesome. In 2005, when my wife and I had just only started dating, she took me down here to see the "underground." It was a lot dirtier and filled with all sorts of garbage; both from decaying trolley equipment, to the left overs from the homeless guys. We went about ten feet back past the light, when something huge bumped into my thigh. As I panicked, she quickly walked me out, only to tell me a month later it just might have been a rat. Holy. Jesus. Fast forward to last year in June, and we went down. What a major difference! They have cleared out just about all the excess junk, sectioned off the old stairwells (so no one falls, I suppose) and we were able to walk the whole 2 miles. It was a bit unnerving, even with flashlights. But let me tell you, it is surreal at the same time. I did begin to panic a bit, but we finally made it to the other end, down behind Canal Street. The city is still torn up about whether or not to fill it, or create retail space, thus taking away from the integrity of this unique, art filled place. It is one of many odd things that makes Rochester special. :)

Lens flare; I was shooting into the sun a bit.
