There is a practical reason to use faux marble. A pillar of real marble would be too heavy to be supported by the wooden frame of that staircase.

This is not a door key. It is a furniture or cabinet key. I can tell by the shape of the top. The handle is very thin and there are two ridges just below it. Door keys have a thicker and more durable handle and no ridges.

The stairs must have been renovated shortly before the building was abandoned. There is no wear from foot traffic on those stairs. The corners are sharp.

Just to the left of the chair is what looks like a blue enamel-ware bowl turned upside down.

Motts, stop taking such good pictures. I need to go to bed sometime tonight!

I would go down it on roller skates while juggling cinder blocks.

Or am I talking s***?

You can see part of the broken chain still around the gear. That is one unhappy bicycle.

They are electrical insulators of some sort and obviously very old. This suggests the sign painted on the wall is much older.

ive been inside this building more than 20 times....have hundreds of photos from years past. if you have AIM my screen name is AH92387. ill tell you about the place if you want to know more

The clarity of the water is due to absolute stillness. All the impurities have settled at the bottom. But don't drink that water anyway.

bahahahahaha!!!!
i vote stretch ftw

Jb, my thoughts too. It appears that something was attached to the wall and had been removed or fallen off. But what? I couldn't even guess.

Somebody was in there looking for something. I don't think this was a kitchen.

If you lived in the bell tower you would have a lot of room downstairs. So you wouldn't have to take out your garbage for an extra-special long time.

These signs look like they were made in the 70s or 80s. Again, they are in English, who was using these spaces at that time?
