The wood is beautiful. They should at least try to save the good stuff before they tear it down. Amazing.

I agree. It is beautiful. It is such a shame that it is left to rot.
That indeed would be worth it's weight in gold (or iron) today. I have friends in the wrought -iron trade, and it would be VERY valuable!
What a sad and dreary view.
That as a Hotel, would be haunted, for sure!
Mott, certainly did justice to this place. He showed the contridictions of this other-wordly place~ all of the brilliant colors and life, the darkness and decay and, the fairey tale and the tale of the damned. Quite brilliant!
