As a resident of Dixmont from 1946 to 1965 Dixmont was a official post office untill 1950 hence the redundant sounding address on the safe. The PO building was along Rt 88 and received & sent mail on the train with out the train stopping.

Well it did, the morning of Easter Eve, 3 60-70% completed apartment buildings burnt down

The only part of the original building that burnt was one of the spires, which burnt due to excessive heat. The other things that burnt were 3 60-70 % completed apartment buildings and various construction trailers/buildings. Actually you can drive right up there now, security is gone.

That is a CO2 extinguisher, Halon is used for electronics.

Too bad you weren't there during steaming. The se huge beam steam engines are beyond awesome while in operation!

I MISS IT AND IT WAS NO HURRICANE OR FIRE OR EARTHQUAKE BUT ROCKY POINT JUST CLOSED ITS DOORS AND SHUT DOWN. TO REMOVE ALL THE EQUIPMENT THEY TORE DOWN SOME WALLS

LOL, i agree with Gustav =p

and i like the stained flood, it makes for a creepy feeling

Ohhhh, nice, and creepy at the same time

Very creepy, just thinking about what went on in that room

the crown is, infact, a coronet. the motif is a strawberry leaf which shows that the coffin belongs to an english duke. the fact that the window is a trefoil or a clover leaf is, i would guess, purely coincidental as it is a common gothic ecclesiastical motif. i would love to visit this place!

that ramp leads to the morge

Wow, they don't build 'em like that anymore. Nice of the guy to let you look around the place.

Great job as always. :)

Yay, new pictures!

Ditto on the wallpaper.

Whoa, Quake 3

To HRM,
Over all the architecture is Victorian Gothic Revival, but as the ginger bread/ lacy like work bodering the second floor is comon for East Lake Victorian. But as I see the parallel and lattitude lines as shown on the clock tower and sectioning the building shows the hinting of the arts and crafts movement, but that doesn't show up in art styling until the late 1890's
