At least we know Bob was here in '75! (for whatever that's worth) And if you look closly, is that one of those nasty No-Pest box strips hanging down from the ductwork? At least it was far enough away from the stove so the flies that became UNstuck wouldn't fall in the soup -

Phonebooth ,maybe?

I wonder what happened to al the plaster detailing ,is that the rubble on the floor or was it removed piece by piece .

Its those damn vandals again.

That is pretty narrow,My wife and I once lived in an apartment with a door to our second floor about as tight as this one , we had to bring most of the furniture and larger items through the second floor window and I kid you not , a large pizza box would need to be tilted to make it through .

good gallery, this is my favorite pic. thanks

Im getting dizzy ,I feel like I am going to blow chunks if I continue looking at this shot .Must move on.

Usually this kind of stuff has disappeared lon ago, supprisingly its still here.

Love the gallery. Keep them coming!

Would love to have a wallpaper of this as well, looks like something out of Silent Hill!

There is no way I would walk down this hall, oh wait, on second thought I suppose I would have to just to see what was at the other end.

eeech - this whole room needs a shower

There were even around in the 1950's. An early episode of I Love Lucy called (appropriately) "The Diet" showed one of these in the Ricardo bedroom that Lucy stayed in all day to lose some weight in a hurry.

It's really amazing when these comparison shots were taken in practically the same angle, you can really get an idea of the room. Wow!

In the olden days as they're called, they used to sometimes leave things inside these posts at the end of the stair case because usually they were hollow. I think they were called newlposts, not sure of the spelling. We had one in the house I grew up in and we popped the top off and inside were papers left by the original builders from like 1902. Sometimes they would leave blueprints, notes and other documents pertinent to the structure. It's always nice to find "buried treasure".
