Hey, If I coud jimmy that tile, it would be all over my floors! One college pulled all their marble tiles when they re-did their library floors and sold them off. Much better idea than what is going on here.

The before shot really puts into perspective how wasteful we are here in America. You would think that keeping the building up and re-configuring it into a purposful structure would have been cheaper than letting it go and then trying to come up with a fix.

There was an old "insane asylum" by us that was torn down in the 80's. They built a new building onto it and then the cost of keeping up the old building became to great for the facility to bear, so they ended up tearing it down. I never got to see the old building, but from the pictures I have seen, it didn't seem to be a Kirkbride building, although it did have the central administration building and then wings on both sides. Wish I was into this stuff back then...
