Wow! How have I never seen these photos before? I attended St Katherine of Sienna grammar school for 8 years and then Eden Hall for 4. This chapel and the nuns who taught at Eden Hall played a major part in my spiritual growth.... in my LIFE! Thank you for the opportunity of wandering through happy memories as I view your photos.

The workmanship on the banister is incredible! Looks like marble?
Hopefully some of this was salvaged before the building was demolished.
Such a shame if not :(

Looks like a tape dispenser. If correct, it holds a roll of adhesive backed packing tape. The adhesive side is dragged over a brush which is sitting in water to moisten the adhesive as the tape advances. You advance the tape by pulling the handle.

It's just a little water intrusion to go with the electric bumper cars. What's the issue? :-)

I visited rocky point recently!! All that remains is the control platform for the "skyliner" ride......the towers......and the arch which still stands at the southern most part of the park!! And the blue cement from the salt water pool is also visable!! It's sad to see such a void where so much once stood.....and for so long! We all have our memories!! I certainly have my share!! God Bless RP !!! 1849-1995

I have a feeling a lot of the clothes and non-academic detrius are probably from homeless people. Previous adventures in a different city have led me to always keep an eye out for homeless people when photographing locations like this one.

Cool shoot, thnx! Nothing left of the lobby and theatre? Did you shoot the Broderick Tower? Serious time standing still in that at one point. Renovated now.

That tree is for the zombie Santa. I'd be all over those old newspapers.

Those things were cool. Sturdy wide brown paper tape with that zig-zag filament reinforcement in it. I have a roll somewhere. That appears to be a Better Packages Model 120 gummed tape shooter. The stuff is still in use and amazon sells the machines.

That's where Union Avenue Joane did her business.

Cool outer space thing that looks like it will eat your head!

Mary Brunner and Susan Atkins out at the Spahn Movie Ranch? The Manson Family spiritual retreat.

And lovely machines they were. If they could get somebody home from the showroom without falling apart, that is. The GM X car set the recall record at somewhere around 250. :oD

Down the hall was the flying spaghetti monster. Great meatballs.

Gr8 shoot, thanks! Salvage critters opened the light fixtures to grab the ballast transformers in 'em. They contain copper.
