Perfect lighting. Beautiful. And yes, I see the "No Pest Strip" hanging from the duct. Lord, I haven't seen one of those since the 70s. Pics like this makes my imagination run wild. I wonder what the last meal prepared here was.

This made me gasp! Wow! So much in this photo to take in. The bricks, the ironwork, the stairs. Nice shot.

Looks like there was a fire in the top of the tower.

When was the fire?

Stunning workmanship on the brick vaulted ceiling. That floor looks mighty boogerly. I'm surprised the decay is this advanced. I'm sure that open window letting the rain/snow in has a lot to do with it.

ive never traveld here to see the site even though i live within 30 miles of it. However, i have seen videos of the "hotel" as my previous job was taking care of mentally disabled people. Some of my consumers were actually patients here when it was the asylum and they were tortured. The videos we had to watch depicted a scary, awful place, nothing like what has been captured with your photographs!

How do you get into those places? *_*

I love seeing the before and after shots. It's exciting and very, very depressing at the same time.

Yeah, I'm REEEEAAALY fond of that slat and plaster technique. I'm living in an old house and see some of that under my kitchen sink. The house survived Katrina, no problem! This crap they have nowadays, build a house in a week....nah..I like the old ways of doing things. :)
