This is where they beamed Motts up.

Poor l'il fella. Maybe he's the only non-smoking chair in the bunch.

I really like what you did with this shot. This is a picture I could look at over and over again and keep finding something new about it each time.

Mmmmmmm . . . . . . very nice.

Ah, geez - INCREDIBLE shot!

Whoa! Super color and textures!

Em, is that where the rotted males were placed?

I'm just asking . . .

yeah, this is an incredible gallery. you've done this place great justice.

As a former special ed teacher (in the years before the Great Flood that covered all the earth), we used to use these if we wanted to make multiple copies of anything. You could always tell school teachers (but you couldn't tell them much - har har!) because they had purple streaks all over their faces and hands because of the damnable mimeo ink. That was a true mess. Sigh . . . . .

A mimeograph. A duplicator that makes copies of written, drawn, or typed material from a stencil that is fitted around an inked drum. Used in schools and offices before the photocopier was introduced in the 80's.

What truly incredible doors!

Wowza! That defines the word "character"!

I like how you framed this shot - such great symmetry.

So, I am guessing you were perched precariously on this slippery roof just to bring us such a marvelous shot?

The design of this place is just incredible. Too bad you don't see the same grandeur in most current architecture, but I guess the cost must be prohibitive.
