Peaches, you can thank a prior mayor for that. When Andrew Young was mayor they tore down a lot. People were upset that character was being lost....his comment "We're building our character now". (Yes, if you hadn't guessed, even though I don't live there right now, I'm a Georgia Boy, lol. Hotlanta is in my blood. You can take the boy outta Atlanta, but you can't take Atlanta outta the boy!)

Wow.......just......Wow. Nothing else can be said.

Looks like something Trent Reznor would have for an album cover! (...minus the text of course...he'd have the trademark name in all lowercase!)

yeah, I guess I can't really call that "graffiti". I have to assume the arrows were from previous explorers like yourself attempting to not get lost.

Holy Shit that's creepy!

Nobody mentioned the leaning street light!? This pic came out amazing, the way the leaves on the tree are and all makes it look like a model made of small twigs, cotton and a Revell model car kit! Thanks again Motts.

What an industrial site! Makes me think of entering a grand train station lobby. Motts, you are such an impressive expert at taking this shots.

It was the Scotts personal chapel

When it was in use for managers ect there were large paintings of the Scott family on the walls going up the large staircase one of the supervisers told me she was convinced she saw the ghost of Lady Scott on the landing

This was a weighing machine for patients that were bed ridden ect

Worked at St Margaret's as a domestic and then as a superviser for a few years homes were very basic we had some laughs with the high grade patients one of them even told me I should live there as you had £7 pound a week to spend and got your meals free and clothes washed.

The chair has been a really BAD chair and must face the wall for eternity.

Rich, have you seen the PBS special about Nicola Tesla and electricity? Your comment "in the early days electricity must have fascinated and awed people in equal measure" immediately took my mind to this show and the reactions people had to Edison's, Tesla's, and Westinghouse's work.

When I consider the fact that the 'soap dispensers' were way above head when walking on the floor; but, that they appear pretty low right now... I feel really small looking at this picture.

You're not the only one, Dave-oh. It made me dizzy, too. Had to hold onto the edge of my desk for a moment.
