I remember back in the mid to late 70's there used to be a giant bat hanging at the end of the ride just as you approached those double doors at the end. Scared the hell out of my sister every time.

I don't believe I called Byberry a party pit. The gallery description was an account of what happened to me there, and I think the memories I wrote down were rather objective. If you think it was a party pit then that would be your opinion and not mine.

Debbie: the Ladd school was established in 1907 (as described on the main building page - http://www.opacity.us/...the_ladd_school.htm)

This particular building was probably built in the mid-1950s however.

Yay! Back in America! I love the Europe pics and all, but I feel like I can relate better to the American pics. Maybe I'm closed-minding.
