looks like a dress form in the doorway in the distance. or a ghostie?

yep gully, i was thinkin' the same thing.

I smell bread. ;o)

Looks like someone tried to stave off the decay. See the white toothpaste looking stuff? It's pretty recent. Maybe it's "greatstuff."
I mean it's in the right places to protect, right?

hi AD, sanatorium isn't the same as a sanatarium. Two different words, and worlds, if you think about it.
SanaTORiums were used to kind of keep patients away from the public to stop the spread of tuberculosis. (1920's -50's)
SanaTARiums = mental hospital

gosh, even the doorknobs are gone. poor castle. *sniffle*

The inside of a crematorium oven looks just like this! Vaulted brick ceilings.

Floor, walls and ceilings all made of brick.
No wonder they called it the castle on the hill.
I wish I could have heard the collapse. Anybody agree? It would have been a little exciting, (providing we were well away) don't you think?

holy shnikees Mr. Motts! Are you a bat, hanging by your feet when you took this shot?
Just how DID you do it???
Promise all of us you'll be careful. We need you.

Mold, dust, um...don't forget asbestos.

Wow. What a difference.

Beautiful! Wish the graffiti wasn't there, though.

Yes, it would be interesting to know when the fire was.

That floor definitely looks unsafe. Glad I can see it without having to chance falling through.

this photo reminds me of The Twilight Zone.
