well unless i photoshopped them on the pics i have from my 6 trips here, i'd say its real.. especially considering i saw this, the iron lungs and the bator solarium with my own brown eyes...

those are metal pieces used to hang curtains ... years ago they were used more .

Yep, that's original tile. Greek revival style.

This kind of ceiling is called a "Prussian Vault" or "Berlin Vault", and was pretty popular between 1890 and 1930, sometimes until the 1950s. It was mostly used in places where wooden ceilings would rot away - like basements - or where heavy-duty ceilings were needed. I have seen many basements in my home area - Upper Franconia, near Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany - and about 90% of the houses I have seen dating back to the era stated above have this type of vaults in their basements.

The old Atlas Imperial would not be considered a common rail design?
BTW: wish there was more nautical pics on this site, but love it anyway!

Mr. Motts.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. It takes courage to climb these places.

hey Nebraska- we R far away but worth going to see it

I see a bunch of cows (wearing cowbells), a dog, and a bird (maybe a duck?). How interesting!

Motts, do you by any chance remember seeing an operation room in CIPC ?

It looks big in all the other photos, but you really can get a sense of the sheer size of it in this shot, well done Mr. Motts!

LOL @ Nebraska! That is a GREAT pic, sort of sad but beautiful at the same time.

This shot gives filing like I'm on batle ships maine tower.

Remindes me a sun.

Thats so amazing I like it.

Look at the size of that thing, nothing beats industry at it's field.
