I love the chronological conflict... the large, almost-ancient looking doorway with the retro-fitted exit sign hanging dark and useless overhead.

That staircase is beautiful....esp. the railing....what iron work.....I'm actually surprised its still there too. I'm sure it was just beautiful back in its heyday......Its really a shame that this building is not in use in someway. That in itself is a waste. They just don't make them like this anymore.....or to last as long either......

Always great to see new galleries up Motts. What a shame these big beautiful buildings are sitting vacant. I do hope they are gonna use or restore some of them. If not what a shame.....It was probably very beautiful back in its heyday. Thanks for the historical pictures too Motts. I wish there where inside historial pictures. Maybe on those web sites you had listed. I'll have to check those out. Can't wait. Thanks so much....now onto the gallery!!!

Beautiful railing. Such a shame to see it crumble like it is.

I love this one, I attended JobCorps in KY at an abandoned military base and had some good times (and got into some trouble) exploring the abandoned parts of the base. wish i still had the photos. Interesting this was aslo briefly a JCor center. they must like to use old military sites. thanks motts!

Thnx once more for posting, Motts! Gr8t to see the historical write-ups too! Aerials from 2008 show numerous large abandoned buildings left on this complex to the NE of the originals, plus some residence homes in the woods. Perhaps you may wish to revisit this site if in the area.

It amazes me how you can capture such brilliant photographs with hardly any light. The sign of a true master!

Can you please make a wallpaper of this Motts?
It's a great pictue! Love the lighting and how the photograph seems to enhance the colors left in the room.
