Beautiful, sad and poignant tour, Motts. Re #7 and #8: without revealing name/place, you're lucky you got in there when you did as well. I don't live in that city but I have friends who do and I try to keep up on the preservationism there. Last I heard, the place had been secured and those magnificent windows boarded up; although that was a couple years ago and as far as I know, it's still sitting and rotting. Who knows what will become of it. Tragedy. Only City Methodist in Gary is worse.
Good for you that you did go in. You got some magnificent photos of a treasure living on borrowed time. It's gone now. Demolished in June of 2010. Sad and graphic videos on YouTube.
When we shut the power off to this hospital it all went down hill.Security was there for several years and the place was in good shape.The STATE Police used it for urban trainng for a while with tack force and dogs and stuff but after the floors started giving way they had stopped using it. The scappers moved in and cut the poles down,dumped the transformes(PCB"S ?) and took the copper.The vandails moved in and tore the plywood off the windows and doors and wrecked the place,burned the garage and theatre.Then there are the goust hunters(HA HA) who think someone there.Their has been some people caught there and arrested but over all its a hazard for anyone to go into.
Some dope shit man...
Pitty there where no trays.
But the table is damn nice man and the way you captured it really rocks!
Thumbs up from holland.
Rule.
it is paint, aliciaa. that what "low sheen" latex paint looks like when it peels off of a glossy oil finish. (sorry, i'm a painter, thats the only reason why i would know that) lol
