Love the diamond shapes going across and not up and down. Would love to have these doors!

It did! I had a place that had 15' high ceilings and in the winter time, all the heat would end up near the ceiling. My power bills were enormous! Maybe that's why these places had to have their own power plants with several blast furnaces running, just to keep the room temp a comfortable 70 degrees when it was ten below outside.

Make us all a promise that you will not stay away soooo long! Missed you and your photography. This was a outstanding set! Thanks so much for putting an end to the craziness on the guestbook. When you are away the *nuts* will play! Glad you are well, come back as soon as you can!

I had one of those tubs in one of my first apartments and the thing I liked about it was the fact it was so deep. Fill that sucker up with Mr. Bubble and you could really have a great time. The tubs today are too shallow.

Seems like an awful lot of valves for hot and cold

Hey, Motts, speaking of Grossingers, are you going to post an album on your trip there & have you kept up with the the Pines? I know the indoor pool is now gone & other parts too.

Day after day, searching for string to wrap around random objects in a senseless manner. Livin' the dream! :oD

It's a propaganda and brainwashing device used to remove all traces of intelligence and independent thought.

MY HUSBAND AND I GO TO ABANDON THEATERS AND TAKE PIX AND MOST OF THE TIME WE CATCH UP WITH THE OWNERS OR THE STAFF SOME OF THEM AND GET STORIES OF THE DRIVE INN IN ITS HAY DAY WE LOVE DOING THIS KIND OF STUFF AND WE TRY TO KEEP IT ALIVE IN OUR MINDS. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

So odd. It looks like a mosaic on the top half, and the structure of the roof is odd and irregular. Still, I bet the creep of nature has improved upon it.

Motts, this gallery is terrific. Thank you for sharing! Thank you for including pictures of The String Man's handiwork and room, too. It was interesting to see something abandoned juxtaposed with something being utilized in the present.

I think it's kind of pretty. :)

It's so interesting to see what the walls used to look like before they were updated/covered up. Unfortunately the beautiful building supplies of yore were not economic, or probably in this case, sanitary. What makes me even angrier is drop ceilings.
