Mr. Mott's Thank You, for including the link to Ms. Shirley Paris' remembrances of this hotel.

Oh man, the colors here are amazing!! Great eye Motts.

Small couch? Is that gang-speak?

Speaking of pools, and very off-topic, I've always had a fascination with the pool on the Titanic for some reason. Yes, I'm weird!

Cornbread dressing. kdhuvhen, I get it!

I too love the curved hallways

Mica, I noticed the hasp on the refrigerator door too. Must of been a stash of booze.

Jackson Pollock would like this photo!

Any idea what this room was?

The fixture is beautiful. The old ceiling medallion is most likely worth a small fortune.

I'm wondering if the area in the back is a confessional of some sort? (I'm Catholic so I know what the old confessionals were like)

Ugh Sked...agree. That tag really torks me off!

Mike and Freespirit..I was thinking that, too. Those lockers are in fabulous condition! And I too hate to see these places just sit and rot.

Claudia, have absolutely no idea - but three hinges is definitely stronger - so a very good point. Or archiect choice?
A lot of the older asylums and hospitals (end 1800, beginning 1900) have three hinges. (And beautiful doors, 5 or 6 panels!)
Am trying to understand when the change came.
My house is built 1935: two hinges on every door. (Am in Sweden)
But there are three hinges on older doors here too.
So methinks the change was end of twenties....
but then Northville was built 1951....hmmmmm.......so I can´t figure it out. Because mostly the newer ones have two hinges.
Are you checking it out as well? Hinges and lamps I check thoroughly, hahaha.
May you always be well, Claudia. Awesome pictures!

just by looking at the pix ... is scary i bet adrenaline was just not enough to hold your self in that place.. good pix
