Wow so cool

Speaking as someone who worked in theatres (in the xenon bulb days) and loves these pieces, these are barely worth their value in scrap. There were tens of thousands of these made across the various companies for the theatre circuits and any museum that would want one has easy access to as many as they would like. No question that they are beautiful and the square metal boxes that replaced the arc projectors can't hold a candle (ha ha) to this beauty.

Hello, I am interested in purchasing and restoring this hospital, depending on where it is located. You also have a couple of others that I'd like to know the location of. I am seeking restorable properties of large proportions for a couple of projects I have in the planning stages. I am seeking properties in the lower middle to eastern states. I am seeking industrial properties everywhere along the entire Mississippi Basin for a conservation project. Please contact me through Facebook and let's discuss things. You could actually save some of the properties that you're preserving in digital format. Wouldn't that be nice for both of us? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Would love to know what that nook was used for!

I believe it's a wire housing for a construction drop light.

Love the shutters. I always like the look of them!

What's the fan-looking thing on the floor between the 2 doors?

Sigh. This place must have been absolutely gorgeous. Looks like a little landing after the first 5 steps? Wonder why?

I love those old push button light switches!

Awesome!

Good question, Binky. I too thought about the servants quarters being up there.

I'm surprised to see any doors still inside. Those old-fashioned doors are used quite a bit here in my neck of the woods.

My thoughts exactly, eldokid.

So sad this place couldn't be saved. I hate seeing historical buildings of any design torn down. Ugh.
