That alcove looks a bit worse for the wear!

I can see the animals on the walls, now that you mention it. No cause for concern. If the animals leap from the walls and re-enact scenes from your favorite Disney movies, have your shrink adjust your meds!

Thank god you guys havn't changed. We need proof.. Either way.......

DannyBManny,

This joint housed females, so a GH wouldn't be much use!

I think the kind of paint-chipping texture on the door is called "alligatoring." Not sure.

I'm not convinced this place has been abandoned for 32 years, anyway, I too must comment on the ducts. I first thought they were ornamental architecture!

Mona Lisa,
If this place is in New England, you chances of "stepping on a snake" in the brush are practically nil, and your chances of stepping on either one of the two species of native venomous snakes are even closer to nil than that!

Nice to be home again......

As I said in a comment on one of the earlier pics, I used to live here in the '80s. When we were moving out in 1990, my parents told me it was because the NWCDC was no longer renting the houses out. They only let us stay until we coud find housing elsewhere. The family that lived in the biggest house were the last to move out. Their house was the one that was burned down in 2000.

Motts, didja throw a bowling ball down the alley and get a strike?
