Why thank you Lynne

Such a beautiful building...too bad it is falling apart

salvador Dali springs to mind.

Heaven's gateway.

Personally, I think it has a kind of sad beauty to it...

Then again, I'm just weird like that. the crazy architecture just appeals to me somehow...

And I'd rather have that overlooking a playground than some dreadful housing estate (I think that's what it's gonna be now, right?)

I doubt you'll ever read this, Barbara, but it is quite common in abandonned properties to find baths in strange locations.

Any number of intruders could have some reason for trying to move it, even though t's heavy, from kids trying to do something moronic like riding it down the stairs/throwing it off a balcony to thieves who try to move it, and decide that it's too much effort.

Good Lord, young lady, you are literate! We adore you already. :-)

I'm a thirteen year old author and your photos caught my interest. They inspired me to write a novel about an english boarding school for girls in the late 19th century... keep an eye out.

I'm guessing that this place might not have been able to comply with state codes for schools and that may have been the reason it closed. It is certainly lovely, but I don't know that I'd want my daughter living in that building. I would be praying every night that they wouldn't have a fire.

My mother lived in a lovely old dormitory at Millersville State College back in the sixties. It couldn't meet the state fire marshall's codes back then, so they turned off the mains at night to prevent fires. The following year they razed it and built new dorms.

It's kind of nauseating to look at this for a long period of time. Great shot, Motts.

Oh yeah nitedivine . . . I can see it now.

this photo is just begging for a ghost to show up on the steps
