It looks like theres someone looking out of the window
on the right....

Would make a cool recording studio

It almost looks like the inside of a wooden ships hull
upside down...

thanks Christina. let the poor sucker go up first so you can live. reaaal nice of you

Well, Merc24, I guess I should have said 'aesthetically awesome'. ;)

Coffin stair case. so they told us during the tour of the trans alagheny lunitic asylum. which was also a kirkbride design!!!!

The colors on the windows are so pretty. I wish more bulidings now had stained colored glass..... its so cool to look at.

I wouldn't want my organs left behind for urban explorers to find....

I love this angle!!! I wish i could take pictures like this :/

wow. I'm not sure why but this morgue looks cozier than most :/

Do you just find these places and then go in them or do you have to get permission?

My guess is the projector heads are Simplex XL. The setup is very similar to what I ran in another Mental Hospital back in the 1970s. Altogether a rather spartan booth and probably showed movies only a few times a month, if that.

The detail is absolutely incredible. Blows my mind. Imagine what a ceiling like that would cost these days haha.

The view would have been clear, only shrubs and small trees then! Everything would have been in view. Imaginge the picture without the plant life! The plants don't know if the funding has been cut! Only the gardeners. Great shots as allways!

Death be not proud.....
