I have actually, a pretty amazing place indeed!

This is definitely one of my favorite photographs. I couldn't begin to tell you why but I loved it the moment I saw it. Nice job!

Just beautiful! Older architecture always photographs as though it has its own soul. This photo is just lovely and a bit haunted.

Resented any suggestion of insult aimed at his crippled friend.

pegasus64 nailed it with his description..

I spent about 3 weeks in one of those. The one I was in, I lay on my tummy for 2 hours and they came and put another part on my back and turned me over. took the part I was laying on on my tummy off. After 2 more hours the came back, put the tummy part on me again and turned me over and removed the back part. I went through that every 2 hours for three weeks, Kept me from getting bed sores, though. My back was broken in a coal mine roof fall. That was almost 30 years ago, and I'm sure they still use the Stryker Frame..

Well, this sorta takes the fun out of it. I had seen this before on abandoned but not forgotten, and I thought a rogue patient had accomplished this before the place closed in 1985.

I showed the ABNF photos (mentions nothing about the Gennie projects) to my wife, a psych major, and she FREAKED!

On the other hand, it does make a lot more sense that it wasn't a patient who had done this, as after years of decay it wouldn't appear so bold and clean.

I had one of these in my old Geo Metro...

And the sad thing is, if you drove into the scrap yard with this thing, they'd STILL probably take it, no questions asked.

The windows have eyes...

It's always hard to tell from factories that have been cleared out like this.

Would this have been the place that they made little Studebaker components, or was this where the fully built cars got their finishing touches and rolled outside to be shipped out?

I always had trouble understanding how old factories could burn down - and so easily - as I thought they were made of concrete and bricks.

However, seeing this, I now can totally see why. It's amazing this place never succcumbed to such a fate.

This is where old-school identity thieves go to steal personal info... you know - for when that high-falootin' Internet thing just gets too complicated.

They take all the personal information down on their typewriter.

They had this stretcher onhand in case some jerk threw something off the balconies above and hit a worker below...

This is awesome. It looks like, on the right, there's a guy doing the finishing touches to the interior of a circa 1928 car, while the left side looks like a guy doing the final tuning to the engine.

I know you said there were people onsite - Were there actually people on the other side in this photo, or is this just the dirty, dirty window providing a cool looking pic?
