I worked for Active Tool and MFG for 23 years, working at the Tooling center in Detoit. Started as a tool and die apprentice and work my way up to working in the layout department and running a CMM. It breaks my heart to see what Tower Automotive as well as the prior owners did too this once thriving company.

Mr. Motts, This is the first time I have commented even though I have enjoyed your photos since I first found this site. I honestly have to say that your work is bar none, there is no other site I have found that can match this one in historical information and beauty of the photographs. I just wanted to say thank you for the taking us along on your explorations! Although all of your pic are amazing, I enjoy the hospitals and state schools the most. Growing up in the shadow of Harrisburg State Hospital and having access to most of their buildings through my parents working for different state agencies on the grounds and working there myself as an adult, these places have always held a special place in my heart, along with the people that called them home.

Rural, indeed. Very. And no stress from the world of the city dwellers.

Hideous taste in wallpaper decor. Creative use of samples, however.

Amazing gallery, Motts! Looking forward to the next (maybe with more wallpaper of your own!).

Oh, if I could design my own home, I'd have a private library with shelves as abundant as this. This is gorgeous craftsmanship, I wonder if it's solid oak?

Is this the same building as that in the previous shot? The difference between the condition of the walls, floors, etc., is pretty stark.
