Was David Caruso's signature there??

Beautiful!

When I was a seminarian there in the late 1960s, one of my most peaceful places was this chapel. During the Christmas holidays, the chapel was decorated in simple yet seasonally ornate regalia, making it extra special.

It breaks my heart to see the chapel in such a state ...

Good shot!! It looks like something from a horror movie!

How freeky is that scene?

No, we only checked out one floor here and headed for the older buildings... sounds intriguing though.

I think I passed over those letters, being astounded by the view of the buildings... interesting, I'm not sure what they read.

Owen, that was magnificent. In one post you managed to capture the main reason many of us hold these buildings so dear. It's the human factor that converts simple brick, tile, carpet, wood, steel, and glass into a living, breathing organism. Millions of untold stories unfolded among these now silent and crumbling walls. As Motts galleries have shown time and time again, when a building becomes void of people, it dies. Those who enter these buildings should do so with a degree of respect and humility for those who were housed here and for those who worked here trying to make a difference. This is why vandals upset us. It's just disrespectful.

It's been 3 1/2 years since your post Owen. I hope you make it back here some day to accept my thanks for putting it into words so well. And I agree. "For now, let her slumber".

Wow. I see several window air conditioners. Those are fairly portable. I wonder why they left them behind. I also wonder if Fedz is still living in his parents basement. Hmmm.

Reminds me of something from a Frankenstein movie.

Simply incredible. Beautiful use of color & light.

Very interesting shot. I noticed the stains in the sink which makes me believe the water was on for quite a while after the hospital was abandoned. We see heavy staining on the left under the hot water faucet. That is sediment from a dead hot water heater. So the power was cut quickly but the water stayed on for a few years.

Beautiful patina.

Very stark and lonely.

It's a jungle down there.
