Great pics - as always!! It's nice to see a historical location so well preserved and unspoiled with graffiti and vandalism. I can't imagine having to live down there with bombs going off above ground. i suppose it was better than the alternative!

Love the way the dappled sunlight plays along the walls.
Wonderful perspective!!

Incredibly beautiful!

I certainly wouldn't want to be inside when the ceiling fails.
Being trapped in here would be a nightmare come true! It could be years before anyone found your rotting corpse! Gives me chills to even think about it!

What's in the little niche on the right? Is that another tunnel?

Which way to go??? The concrete path (road to heaven?) or the bare
unfinished rock tunnel (doorway to hell?) I'd have to choose the rock tunnel. It's more dangerous but immensely more interesting I'm sure!

Poor shoe. Someone ripped out it's tongue - lol.

Very interesting. I always learn new things reading through the histories of the locations and even sometimes in the comments.

Great shot! They give a sort of ghostly effect to the stone!
Beautiful!

The entrance sounds like it was difficult to find if you didn't know where to look. How interesting to explore where very few people have been in many, many years! Scary!! But very cool :-)

A new gallery - Hooray!!
I give you a lot of credit for your bravery Mr. Motts! Crawling into a 70+ year old, unfinished tunnel system takes more nerve than I think I could muster! After all, curiosity killed the cat-right! Thank you for letting us all see vicariously through your eyes!

I wonder what happened to the owner of the shoe.

Great photos !
Btw,
Stalagmite is the correct spelling of the features "growing up" from the floor.

I grew up next door to Bennett College. My grandmother, Julia Pingry Haskell's parents built the home I lived in from 1945 to 1962. Many fun years playing on the college grounds which was operational at that time.
