Interresting..

I have recently been introduced to your site and have yet to be disappointed . . .

It actually looks like the building is sinking into the grass, rather than the plants growing up it

This'd be cool wallpaper; why no larger size available?

mmmmmmmmmm - Lung disease in a box!

There is a similar engine in the Grand Rapids (MI) Public Museum - they were used in manufacturing back in the day to run the overhead cams and belts. It certainly would be worth it to preserve this.

Thanks, Xopher! I knew someone would figure it out!

Based on the time period, it probably was a ballroom / hall.

I blew it up using photoshop. It is hard to tell, but I believe it is something printed on a screen behind the window: like an illustrated human body, or some other anatomy illustration.

This is a fantastic site! I am in awe of your talent, integrity and let's not forget, your bravery, Mr. Mott's. I have only recently found your site thru a link from a blog on MSN. I simply cannot get enough!
Anyway, on to my point, there seems to be quite a few similarities in the pattern of this staircase and the pattern on the wall in the Scratches photo from the Mental Floss gallery. Wherever this staircase leads it seems to have made a rather large impact on one of it's users. The way out, the way home perhaps? Or could it be a darker reason?
Thought provoking! I love it!

Maybe the power works because they never left.

Mikester, Don't keep anything to your self. You and I can share a muzzle.

I want to see them from inside.

LOL

When i'll get rich :) ,then i will buy all these places and restore them to their former beauty
