The building itself may be dying a slow death but the floors have come alive with an almost alien life form of their own!! Nature always prevails!

Asbestos, mold spores, God only knows what else is in these old places.
Not to mention the dangers of navigating unstable floors and stairways. Urban exploration is a dangerous business! We appreciate the risks you take for us Mr. Motts!!!

Foresight :)

This place is utterly beautiful in it's disintegration, and your photos are amazing as always. I can almost smell the damp and mildew through my laptop screen! XD That kudzu photo was super creepy though. Kudzu scares me so bad with the way it strangles everything.

It's amazing to me how much damage rain water can do. All of this could have been prevented if the roof had been maintained.

Awesome picture! With a bit of imagination this looks like a mini landscape with hills, valleys and plant life growing. All in the folds of an old shower curtain. I suppose in a way it is!!

The cylinder of one of the Tod blower engines. Very efficient design, using a closed loop by burning the waste furnace gas in the engines that are compressing the air for the furnaces. Unbelievable photography once again, Mr. Motts thank you for documenting and preserving the industry that won our wars and built the country.

Here's the grave of ev. Joseph Madison Evans and Alice Humphreys Evans:

Also, here is more information on Rev. J. M. Evans: http://www.nkyviews.co...sbyterian_Church.pdf. It is sad that these people were thought so much of by their congregants that they were honored with this fountain. Yet the fountain has become buried in an old, deteriorating building. Mr. Mott, thank you for letting them live again, if only in our imaginations.

They probably helped with the hospital doing the sorts of community service that people do.

Pure oxygen is very explosive. can cause spontaneous ignition when it comes in contact with some materiel's.

Weird I thought it was a wet saw for tile before reading the description.

Duct Wrap! My unintended specialty.

To be memorised with an era Water-fountain really Is kind + sweet for a Rev.J.M.Evans + A.Humphreys Evans.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Enjoyed thoroughly damp experience, green growth and thought of wet rust flakes. Very wet damp smell special, methinks?
