Splendid!
Also notice in the background how many of the brick ceilings are arched... this technique may, at least in a small part, explain how the bricks have stayed up for so long!

Brick ceilings are certainly an oddity - but remember in the 1880s they were trying to make this place "fireproof," due to having lost the original structure to a fire. If those bricks have remained suspended for over 130 years, they must have had an expert mason to install them! That pillar on the other hand, is magnificent!!

I know a soft teal color is supposed to be calming, soothing to the senses, but this particular shade seems rather garish.

@Boiler 1220-It must have been fun to play that piano and reminisce the good times of being together. I love that tiger that is painted in the background-I can't get it out of my mind. It probably reminds me of when I was in Kindergarten, and I used to love to draw tigers. I drew them all the time in class and drew them well-it gave me confidence since I was a very shy child. The teacher got mad at me since I only drew tigers, but what she didn't realized is that it was a confidence booster for me in a new classroom setting. I have always loved to draw. Today, I love to draw portraits, since I find the human face so fascinating! : )

Imagine that the visitors to this once glorious resort could have never pictured it sitting in this decline.

So much for "Completely Fireproof," as stated in one of the ads.

I like shots like this. Spectacular beauty framed by the broken memoirs of man's organization.

I want to breathe deep of the cleansing air... assuming the mold spores and dust are still behind me in the building. :-)

Gutted and featureless, but still appealing and enthralling to us urb-ex geeks (as my spouse refers to us).
If these crumbling walls could speak to us, what would they say of the decades of visitors, rich and famous, infirm and traumatized, seeking relaxation or restoration... so much history in these gorgeous lines.
