I live by this building and have visited many times, but your photograph's make it seem like a place I have just visited for the first time! keep up the good work, next time I go I will look at it your way!

My father use to work at CVH for over 30 years in the 40's 50's and 60's. He was a Meat Cutter in charge of the Meat Market. He use to get in cows etc. and they use to hang in the freezer and he would cut everything up and make hamburger, steaks etc. He use to have a freezer just like this, I remember he would open the door to the freezer and I would look inside. Are there any pictures of the Meat Market? It had a concrete platform that the trucks use to back up to to deliver the meat and there were also stairs to walk up to the platform.

This building is beautiful. To think about all the labor, time, and effort the artisans put into building in - when completed you know each must have been very proud of their work - to think all of this is gone, destroyed, and ground up as landfill is sickening.

Loving this location..I agree with what Motts said earlier..it's so refeshing to see a place like this minus the stupid graffiti and vandalism!

Wow..hello! People are obsessed with being "politically correct" today. But duh..back then, the word "retarded" was a valid term..it wasn't a slam to the patient. It was used back then like we use "mentally challenged" today. I get a little tired of the constant PC crap.

That Karla Bonoff album was her first release from 1977. It's simply called Karla Bonoff. It's a yacht rock album with pretty good songs on it. I have that record.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.

This is a very good look
Too bad it is not fixed+used, and that nobody is living there

Yes -
someone mows the grass

YES - how beautiful - such excellent skills back in the days. Who would spend so much effort + time on railing today 2016? Very comfortable - made perfectly for hand.....I love it.

This place was a haunted house through the 90's... I worked there in 1998. On our last night of the haunted house season, we partied in the pediatric ward. At that to.e, it still had pictures painted on the walls and old wooden cribs. We went down to the morgue too... Super creepy. Glad to see this place in your site!

Wow john..who peed in your Cheerios?

Liza..my ex husband did that to me, too. His was going on for 3 years before I found out! He chose her over me, which was a good thing, because I deserve better. I have struggled mightily emotionally ever since, so I can sympathize with what your Grandma went through. Our divorce has been final for a year and a half, and it still feels like I found out about the affair yesterday. It hurts.

Such an amazing picture....it truly doesn't look real....I agree with Trishawish, it could easily be an engraving. Motts, you undoubtedly one of the most awesome talented photographers I've had the pleasure of viewing.

Lynne - your mind seems to work like mine. As soon as I saw the pic I thought I heard the Addams family music playing in the background....then I saw your comment. Great minds think alike, lol.
