The color is gorgeous! I love the transoms - you just don't see them much anymore. Awesome shot.

I actually have an old quilt thats falling apart that looks very much like this. We call it the ugly quilt but it is very loved.

Stunning - just stunning!

Parts look like they are not far from disintegration.

Unique for sure.

At least they had some privacy instead of the huge dorms that were just packed with beds with no dividers at all.

The sunlight makes the wood look so very rich..beautiful dappled lighting.

Thanks Motts for another great gallery! We really lose ourselves in these photographs, I can only imagine how fascinating it must be to actually walk there.

Ooh, I do like those cabinets though. And the paneling!

Makes me think of the way-station for Blaine the Mono in Stephen King's Dark Tower series.

This has GOT to be paint over tile...otherwise, how is this possible?

This looks almost like what would be left of someone who took an unplanned trip through a wood-chipper <8-O Creepy feel to this one, though I don't think it was intended.

Not sure why, but these kinds of sinks (especially in rows) always give me the creeps. The legs look "stuck-on" and "extra" and "in the way", and just coldly clinical. I know, I know, they ARE in an INTSTITUTION, but they always seem so "institutional" when used in non-commercial settings.Whenever I see a picture of a house with a sink like this, I'm creeped-out by the non-homey, "industrial" feel to it. I always want to scream "go down to Home Depot and buy a sink that's meant for a HOUSE!!!!!!" OK, small concern in life, but I don't want any part of my house to look like it belongs in a hospital.

Oh, hey, just a tiny spackle job and both floor and roof should be good as new :-). Should be able to finish in an hour or so.....

"Verden" seems the perfect pseudonym for this place when I see shots like this in your gallery. It's in the green of the ivy covering the tower as much as it is in the blue-green painted walls of the building inside...not to mention the green of decay from years of neglect.
