"Looks like you got close. They're right though, it'd be fun to go. I wonder, this is obviously dangerous. Did you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get to roam this graveyard? I mean, disclaimers, insurance, bribes?"

its UE, most likely he just discovered it, did some recon, and planned a day to explore it. these sites dont usually have a lot of security if any.

Lola, I'd tell you to go to Benedict Street Jail to get a cleaver, but it appears that someone beat you to it. :-)

I have this same view shot from more to the left that has a figure in one of the windows. A lingering inmate?

Yeah Ed, I learned a lot of poop from "Road to Wellville."

Homer had his arm stuck in the soda machine for several hours. Finally rescue worker says, "Homer, let go of the can."

It has a sort of a 'sub-marine' quality. With the colors and angle of the shot and that eerie quality I almost can feel the confused and hazy drugged underwater nightmare. Creepy yet dreamy. I love it.

i like the curtains

How the hell did you get in there!

They're called strongbacks. Bolts go through them and fit in channels in the door's outer skin. The door swings inward into the boiler on an articulated hinge. Fitting a thermal gasket on the door and getting it to seal is a major pain in the butt.

Yes, these are boiler steam drums. The nearer drum looks like it has a level column with built in whistle alarm. Very interesting how the furnace door is missing. Possibly it had a tube rupture or small explosion inside??

those are pretty narrow spaces

I can almost hear the james bond theme, and see a man walking in front of that hole, turning and drawing a gun....fade to red.

I would LOVE to have Byberry in my neighborhood, I would explore the shit out of it!!!! ;-) (probably spend more time there then I do On Mott's magnificent site!!)

Yep, I've seen alot of these in the smithsonian exhibits, they usually record temperature, humidity and something else.... there is a red green and blue inkblot on there. Don't know what the third one measures, pressure?

They were probably used to scrub down straight jackets
