Wow that is really neato. It's really to bad that its rotting away in the darkness of this building. What would be truly amazing was if there was some way of finding out who this soldier was who did all these nice paintings.

Maybe Joseph would know?

Motts Bar.
"Cheers everybody. Try a Molson Canadian on me!"

If I had to stay in such a dreary place I'd smile alright...just not in the most pleasant way. I would be cheerfully petting my pet ax waiting for some unsuspecting photographer to stroll by then.
Wham!
"Don't forget to smile."

"I'm not crazy... It's the world." =)

Wow motts, This hole Galary reminds me of Harry Potter the shots some of them looks like the castle in the movies.
very cool.

Did that wing over there burn at any point? (I didn't read much of the back-story on this building, so if it's in there, I missed it.) It looks as though there is charring above some of the windows.

This place has a strange history..Then and more recent...check out this like...The link is large because its translated to english

This bottle of beer almost has the look of being "staged" but I do not beleive that Mott would sully his reputation leaving himself slightly ajar forever with a false photograph.

this is amazzing ......confusing ...yea but amzing

carbon arc lights were commonly used in projetors and theater spotlights for many years. The carbon rods burn with a bright light and create smoke that has to be vented.

I'm *very* glad these are something far more benign than what I was envisioning: those horrible horizontal cages that lunatics were locked into back in the 1800s. Something like that can be seen in the film "Bram Stoker's Dracula", and others in the film "Amadeus".

This is most definately a hopper. I'm a nurse and have seen many of these in hospitals and nursing homes. It probably didn't have ice to hold organs, because it basically is a toilet. You can just see the handle at the top to flush it. You wouldn't sit on the hopper, it would be used to empty stool and stuff. The faucet would be used to rinse the container.

The ship on the right looks like a Spanish Galleon.
