This is the photo on the opening page where I though this was going to be a 'church gallery'. Boy was I surprised, lol.

If this was considered NOT ornate, I'm at a loss for what would be considered to ornate. This is beautiful.

Beautiful. Must admit though, that when I saw the photo on the opening page, I thought it was a church. This photo looks more like someone's mansion or manor house.

It's betadine. A disinfectant for killing bacteria on the skin

where you able to get inside and if so, how. id like to take my senior pictures here.

Does anybody know what this room was used for. I like the retro floor tiles.

What was this room used for

Thanks for taking photos of this place before it was turned into a hotel.I was there with a friend back in 2002 but I was too afraid to go inside.

I love the title of this. The cracks tell stories, yes.

happiest childhood memories were spent here...

i think this is vintage autotechnicon - device for processing tissue for histology examination.

@Carolyn: Oh settle down. Most of those people aren't even alive anymore. Things were handled very differently in the past, and those records were already decades old by the time they closed that hospital, as you have to keep them on file for a number of years before you can get rid of them. Talk about overreaction. Shredding also wasn't common then, and I guarantee you they didn't promise anyone they would be destroyed.

@kathleen: Unless you were a patient there before they closed THIS hospital in the early 80's, you have nothing to worry about. You obviously go to the current location. Again, those records would have been decades old by the early '80's, and I doubt you've been a patient THAT long.

Skills you all

Thanks, Motts - gives mystical otherworldly quality, enthralling; very cool tunnel indeed.

It is really sad because 99% of these buildings are so beautiful. Gary could be such a beautiful city! So many cities could be beautiful people have lost sight of what is important......humans lack pride.
