this auditorium was preety neat

i was just in this place just last night wit a group of my buddies and to be honest its exactly wat the description says, and auditorium...and thats it, nothing special about...sry believers.

My father's a retired Philadelphia Firefighter (30 years). He was called to Byberry literally dozens of times to put out fires there. Kids are constantly setting fires there almost weekly. Luckily, there's nothing left to burn and the buildings are mostly steel and concrete. There's scars from fire on every floor of just about every building.

The bottles are all a dark brown, mostly glass, with white plastic lids. There's also a plethora of brown plastic bottles but the majority are all glass. There's still quite a few unbroken bottles left. They're rather easy to procure.

I want thoses medicine bottles,!!!!!! what color were they, I have a few blue glass bottles that say medication and hospital on them.

again, I am impressed with this HUGE autoclave, unless I go work in a hospital, will I never work with such a large machine., WOW and again i say WOW8-

always travel in two's for that exact reason!!!!

great picture, creepy hall way

Im curious to the heavy heat marks that appear to be left by a fire?

Hahaha, I know what you're talking about. The hallways were never attached. If you notice, the hallways turn into the ground floors of the buildings. The "missing section" is just where one building ends and another begins. They're seperated by roads and driveways. The "ends" of the hallways used to be open and you could walk out one and into the other.

Whenever I go into the "turn-of-the-century" buildings in Byberry during the summer, I get mildly ill for a couple of days. Usually it's a sore throat, labored breathing, and the sniffles. It gets REALLY bad if I you stir up the debris or brush against the pinkish veiny mold that grows out of the plaster lathe.

No, not enough time and daylight to see the whole basement.

In old maintenance, there's dozens of EVERYTHING just lying about scattered.

Sorry Motts,
In my ranting I forgot to mention that this is one awesome photo. It is hard to imagine so many seats were needed, that that were that many people. I am also surprised to learn the patients were even offered this level of entertainment.
