I'm with Kate. The "skull and crossbones" was the first thing I noticed. Haha.

Definitely boobs!

Motts, were the windows on the curved portion of this room also curved? The actual panes of glass? Just curious. This building is outstanding, great pics!

This is the main part. The Tube head. That square box on the bottom is the colimator, which focuses the x ray beam onto the surface being x rayed. Inside the tube is oil which cools the glass tube. The tube body is made of lead, and inside the glass tube which is inside the lead casing has a rotating anode. I assume the power supply is still there as well.

Outstanding!

Would be a great control panel when all cleaned and fixed up. Looks to be a Picker, or possibly GE Brand

OK Where is this place?? Me, and Jeremy are going to rescue this X ray Machine, and add it to our collection. Do you happen to know who it's made by? Thanks

Man, Looks like another GE x ray tube sits and rots away. Me and my boyfriend Jeremy want that GE tube head! We have over 15 different x ray machines, and related parts. We have machines by Picker, Ge, Toshiba Rotanode, Transworld X ray which is out of business, I am sure you have seen these names in your searches.

Any electric battery powered wheel chairs in this place??

Here's what I think this is. Me and Jeremy have come to the conclusion that this is a inflatable item of some sort. That yellow box is a high velocity air blower that's used to pump air at high velocity into the item that's being inflated, kind of like what you see at xmas time the inflatable snow man. When I was a child in elementary school we had this big 8 feet by 8 feet blow up pad that we could jump on, and it had a big yellow box just like this. By the way me and my partner Jeremy Turner just love looking at your site, we are abandoned building seekers as well, but we look for old electrical items, and machinery to collect, maybe you can keep your eyes open for us as well.

There may have been stalls.

It seems like between the toilets (look two or three tiles in front of the toilets, and half way between every two toilets) theres sort of holes in the tiles... maybe where stalls were anchored. (Look near the bottom right of the picture lol)

I know its a poor explanation but its not easy to explain. Hahaha.

It is a beautiful building so much character so many memories-Isnt there any sort of way we can save it????

Hello Friends,
No the hotel lobby part still stands-but they ware threatening to demolish it-we really need help preserving it if anyone has ideas-contact me im on facebook

When I was growing up in Kingston (just across the river) I used to go into this hotel and was always awestruck by the beauty of the place. When I drive from Kingston into Wilkes-Barre, it always made me smile.

No apparently it is time to say good-bye to what was once among the most beautiful buildings I have ever darkened the doorway of. Now instead of the smile when I cross the bridge, I think there will be a tear.

I agree with redinkreign. When I saw the thumbnail for this I thought it was a stained glass window. Awesome artistry.
