Seeing this building just makes me swell with American pride at how we sure do like things big and excessive! Hayl Yeah! I just wish the people in power were the ones who appreciated our forefathers' love for size and beauty. Ican't help but wonder, though, that huge building full of girls. f Ms. Bennett didn't run a tight ship, can you imagine all that giggling and screaming?

I wonder if this was possibly a chapel? The rafters and roof supports are telltale of 50's church architecture.

"But stay! these walls--these ivy-clad arcades--
These mouldering plinths--these sad and blackened shafts--these vague entablatures--this crumbling frieze--these shattered cornices--this wreck--this ruin--these stones--alas! these gray stones--are they all--all of the famed, and the colossal left. By the corrosive Hours to Fate and me?"

Poe, Lovecraft, Shelley.. and others were all great with their dark imagery.
Some of the comments are scary, but some are scary witha tongue-in-cheek, sarcasm, that makes it all more real.

Grifs, reading anything dark and foreboding is acceptable. Actually, as long as you read the comments on this site alone, that should be more than enough! 'coz some of these comments are scarier than some of Poe's stuff! =)

"Of course! What person who frequents a site such as this doesn't read Poe?"

That would be me.

That bit of curtain adds a nice touch. 8 )

hi-could you email me some pics, too? this place looks amazing! myabree@shaw.ca.....thanking you in advance!

if i were there the only thought in my mind would be. "how many demonds are in there"

Yikes, I'm really scared of elevators, I'm always waiting for them to plummit when I'm in one...and I start freaking out when they don't open right away.

What you're supposed to do is lie down in the center of the car, protecting your head and neck. Timing your jump to the time of impact would be near impossible, plus you'd get smooshed like a pancake.
I couldn't lie down, however, because it was a tiny-assed elevator crammed over the maximum, like imagine a 6 by 6 foot square area. Probably saved our asses, due to the elevator being a tight fit in the shaft, much like what happened in the 40's in the empire state building.

I can speak from experience - Elevators plummeting are NOT FUN. Only went about 2 floors or so (thanks to some idiots cramming in more than the recommended weight), but still...

sorry for the typo

Unbielivable!!!!

Wow!
