....looks like something used during the inqusition

its beautiful.

My guess would be that the ramp, or runway, was installed for some special event(s) that took place here many years ago. Notice, also , that the apron of the stage (in front of the proscenium arch) has been significantly extended into the auditorium seating area - perhaps for the same reason. I guess only the ghosts of the building know for sure.

How wonderfully remarkable this is, to not only have a present photo of the room, but also a photo from many years ago for comparision (and from nearly the same angle as well!!

I have to say that Mr. Mott's photography goes FAR , FAR beyond merely "taking pictures". Everything he shoots is an artistic blend of light, color, contrast, composition, and evokes a great deal of feeling and emotion from his subjects. I guess that is the reason why this is one of my FAVORITE websites to frequently visit.

Thank you for providing us with many hours of pleasure, and thought -provoking viewing.

Hello Motts. Thank you so much for your photos (both old AND new) of this once thriving church. It's sad to see how things have changed, and deteriorated, over the decades. Your treatment of this subject was done VERY well and very SENSITIVELY. I hope surviving members of this once great church have the opportunity to see your work - I think they would greatly appreciate it, as do I.

amy , why dont you tell us some of the wild stories, pleeze mami?

its methadone polar, and it was probably the strongest thing they had, now its not a big deal, i take it for fibro mialgia and It works really good for migraines
