those look like miniatures of old gymnasium windows.

"strange purple ink"?? In 2nd/3rd grade, my teacher would use "ditto sheets" with that old typewriter font and the print was always purple. (the sheets were always dry, though, and I never smelled ink like plums, or anything else)

Loads of business mail for a place that size.

Aarrghh, time/cost prohibitive, my sock!!

SWEET mirrors, there. Way to make a restroom look interesting!

Ooo, neat, a slanted wall with a window in it! Probably that much easier to work with than my current house, where the stairs are in the middle and there's no hallway upstairs so I have a small boxy closet with a tilted floor-ceiling to the stairs.

heheh...I like this just because I get to actually see in and around a fancy or ordinary building without falling through a floor ;) The possible comments are what makes this site addictingly different.

Too bad!! ...Maybe at least the admin areas at the front of the Kirkbride would be good for something...as a reminder (like Avalon Bay Danvers) that ...Something Was Here.

Good Heavens, there really is a somewhat modern ...Soap Dispenser.

Why does this not seem to match the actual property layout around the medical building?

drawnaway-those toothbrushes on your site match the crumbling paint colors... !

it almost looks like a model where the walls are cardboard

OMG ~ it always hurts me when I see people abuse, neglect or throw out books. Possibly because I'm a bookworm and writer but still. . . couldn't these have been donated to some place. After all there is information in these books, granted it is probably dated, but still it's history and give a picture of the mind set of the time

Impressive view...

Great shot but I love the shots in hte older buildings much better. You can sure tell the difference.
