How did you take this shot? Were you kneeling for this one?

YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE HOW MANY BODIES GOT DISSECTED HERE.

IS CHUPA CABRA NAMED THERE?

I'm not from a masonry family, but you're right, Psyc. They really don't make things like this anymore. Nobody wants to pay for the hand-crafted stuff that'll last a hundred lifetimes when they can go to Wal*Mart and get one that will last for a couple of years ... then buy a new one. It's a disposable society. Kind of sickening to the heart when you think about it.

The damage is caused by water seeping into the masonry , freezing and thawing over time just tears the brickwork apart.

Being a second generation mason i have to say that is a piece of art, notice that the inside of the firebox is done the same as the face, you won't see that in modern construction.

This reminds me of Boblo Island in Michigan.
It's been closed for years, but I would love to take a camera and see what kind of disrepair the old amusement park is in now.

My grandfather did a lot of the "formstone" work at Enchanted Forest. I went there a lot when I was a kid. It was such a fun place to be. Seems like such a long time ago. Looking at these pictures, seeing the condition its in now makes me feel a little old.

Im not sure if Im on a "soapbox" but maybe these things were not "leftbehind" it could be that the items were possibly unwanted or discarded? as far as the records thats a whole other ballgame really, Im sure that nowadays that they would be taken care of in a professional manner. Once again thankfully we have evolved into a society that protects the dignity and respect of people who once recieved care in these facilites.It could be just possible that when patients were moved that the intention was to remove records and belongings.... and we all know where good intentions sometimes fall to.I love this site and i think that the pictures are the greatest...something always comes to mind ..those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it= meaning look how far we have come in our treatment of children and adults with disabilities , We are in no way perfect but we are trying

As Lynne has taught us... This is Mott's Teleportation Device. Only he is showing off an older version.
For those of you who can't figure out how he gets into old buildings. This is how.. he simply teleports there. If you don't believe me, keep looking there is proof of him near his Master Teleportation device......

where the door is opened, it looks like something is there, becuase it's pure white, just two dots, it's a cool picture, becuase it does look like that roof is gonna fall down.
