someone might have spray-tagged the flower, looks like the ends of some paint on the railing.

BwahaHAAhaHA! :D Bowling alley, LOL!

Sad...that the trouble of such magnificence is its vastness that costs too much to save.

beyond me why the tile was painted like that on the pillars if it wasn't original...eww.

For sale:

1/2 brick, slightly used, call for price, serious inquires only.

3,257,812.5 Bricks were used.

The half-brick was later used in resolving disputes in both the luggage area and the waiting room. After the onset of hostilities it was sent overseas to France in mid-1917.
Returning triumphantly in 1919 the half brick suffered from onset of the spanish flu and spent the 20's recuperating in the coat room left of the third pillar shown above.
Called back into active duty during the disturbances of the mid 30's the half brick was once again sent overseas by Uncle Sam, this time on a tour of Africa, Asia, and other places that start with the letter A. ( Antwerp and Arglye perhaps ).
In 1945, peace broke out. Half brick returned to the US and started a speak-easy in the basement, retrofitting the prohabition-era bar that had been hidded there previously.
Due to zoning issues, the bowling alley was eventually dismantled and sold at auction, and Half Brick succumed to the 80's hair styles.
Emerging from re-hab briefly in 1997 Half Brick attempted to make a comeback tour, but was unable to re-unite, or re-ignite, or re-anythying really.

Canada, I hope this answers your query.

Remember, always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

damn how did they lay tile so nice back then

can i have that wood arch piece looks like it just needs some sanding...

Glumpy?

Esheresque?

Once again, lovin' the titles.

Much of the walls were destroyed to get to the precious metals in the wires and plumbing.

Michelangelo would have loved this place

At least Amtrak didn't put that fake wood stuff all over...

Another Brutalist 70's renovation...
