I think it's a piece of roofing that has lifted off from heavy winds.

The tiles on the walls & floor hint at a grand past. Look past the dirt & decay and it's easy to see a very busy place.

Incredible details on the building. Such a shame that craftsmanship like this is abandoned and forgotten.

Wow! That is spectacular. Thanks for the wallpaper.

Beautiful architecture and brickwork.

To Pat Med 06 - you mentioned you have found books with patients' names in it. I am a RN researching mental health issues within our family. One of my cousins was admitted to Northampton back between 1900-1920. Trying to do all things legally, the Probate dept of Northampshire Co first tells me I have to pay $135 just to have some authority to request the records, then tells me he has no records! She spent many years in Northampen and in 1923 was trafsferred to Gardner where she died in 1932.
Please contact me privately as I want to explore the possibilitiy you may have some records about her. Thanks! jp55@wt.net

Sunlight from skylights I believe.

Tripod works better :-)

I think they are purely ornamental; not sure what this style of architecture is.

Yup, no natural light in this area.

Thanks - my shoots are always so dated because of the time I like to put into each photo and location.

nick - nope, it was that cool basement temperature that doesn't change that much

BKW - I would say the pit goes two stories down.

This place is just amazing looking, reminds me of the old pabst home in Milwaukee a little, yet that was no where near this scale. A truly modenish castle.

Another two-corridors-converging shot. Love the angles. Thanks so much for another great gallery Mr. Motts. I notice that you don't post in the same year you shoot the photos - is there any reason for that (in terms of rules, police, etc)?? That is a great poem Grumpy Ole Artist. Looking forward to the next gallery Mr. Motts.

Is that black mold on the walls and ceilings?
