That door is a fire door. It is suppose to stay shut. If a fire breaks out air flow will be cut off.

Fun word

Solarium

I think it has more to do with the fact that the former owners wouldn't want to pay their staff to remove records knowing they are closing (Overtime and all). The staff assumes that the owners will take of it.

Just out of curiousity, is this angled for looks or for safety? Does it help deflect the x-rays just like in a microwave?

So, now it's exposed? Did it expose itself? (Please, there are ladies present!)

In PA somewhere there is an underground road. I'm not just talking about a tunnel, it has houses and everything. It flooded in the 1800 and eveyone just left leaving eveything behind. the houses were moved around a little and are used for support for the road above it. Unfortanitly most "treasures" have been stolen. Its sad that people steal the only remnants of human life once being there to sell it for money.

I served time in the Navy just a few years ago...and i was a signalman on one of the Mine Clearance Vessels...very old vessel...built around 1950`s....and there was just a rack like that. Now imagine all of the colourful flags to be there....it`s beautiful :)

It could also be they used toasters before paper shredders were invented. Instead of shredding the evidence, they burned it. (LOL)

Twug, it's hard to say, but it remainds me a bit of the old tankers.

Hi you all! I study in the Estonian Maritime Academy to become an officer of the ship....this picture gives me some second thoughts, damn it! :)

I lived in this area a long time, was relocated to Indiana, anyone have info or knows any information on the old Eastern State School and Hosp Please email me, This hosp was located about a mile or 2 from the Byberry and was closed down a few years ago, not many have pics of ESSH, and I can't seem to get much info about why it closed down. I have a very personl interest in this.. Ty javabuzzinmama@hotmail.com.

No, it's off limits to the public all the time.

I have a mini-fridge, microwave, and yes even a toaster. The microwave can't really toast toast as well as a toaster can (hope that makes sense to you). Mainly, why not have a toaster in your office? They make great conversation pieces...

So Dr Sketch, I see you have a new toaster....

Thank you Matt! I'm on it! If ever...

Peaches/AtO: I gave fair warning, it is definitely not a pretty picture. Not sure why anyone would want that picture on the front page of their website, but hey, it takes all types.
A.S.V.: It's not a beauty salon, but yes, they did have those in many institutions as well. They wanted the patients to feel normal. Please don't type in all caps, it gives me a headache.
