Probably a whole lotta "Rosies" in here installing bolts and rivets.

what's a pie control, Glen?

possibly a bit like an oil refinery. Still plenty of those...Granite City near the Mississippi, for instance. (coal and oil industries seem as filthy as anything in the Industrial Revolution to me)

throwin' a switch.

copper-insulated wire tends to be a scrap salvager magnet.

yep, reminds me of something I'd see near an overhead electric rail line.

interesting how it's a wooden tower, yet apparently didn't get damaged much at all from the water vapor.

I can't figure out which one, but there is someone staring back at me from one of those windows - and I can't help them.......=(

If you notice, the metal wrapping the posts is stainless steel. Intersting that they would be this far off the floor for use as a surface protector. It also appears that the concrete from the metal to the floor is newer then the other concrete surfaces and doesn't appear to be stained or discolored from time . I think they may have been put in prior to the facility closing as reinforcement for the columns.

I had the opportunity to visit this amazing building, one of my brother in laws friends use to be a security guard long after it was abandoned. We entered the building on a hot July night and I felt a chill that I haven't felt before.....The underground tunnels were terrifying and like mazes. if you got lost in there good luck finding your way out.....

What's waiting 'round the corner at the bottom?

What a neat little room. I would have loved to live there as a little girl.

Beautiful railing. Such a shame to see it crumble like it is.
