I agree with Fla. Gator that the gated platform was possibly so that people entering, carrying perhaps a body or something else heavy on a stretcher or not, can just slide it onto the platform without having to haul it up the stairs or bend down and lift it up again.

Of course it would be wonderful wouldn't it Sara? I agree :]
Unfortunately those who have the final say [contractors, landowners, etc] could not imagine though, to spend double or triple the amount of money to restore and refurbish an exquisite edifice, and Kirkbride, nonetheless. No no, when the price of a wrecking ball and dynamite comes much cheaper and on swift wings. These poor phoenix's of our past thus must suffer the consequences of our ill humanity. Makes me ashamed to be part of it...

(Wow, I was deeply enthralled in my own thoughts there, hah!)
