Someone finished their bowl of soup and dropped their napkin on the floor. What an interesting place to have lunch...

The ceiling is making the bed frame sit up and beg for the light fixture.

Reminds me of a photography lamp in a studio. Also makes me think of the lamp lights used for the jeans commercial that was shot in that episode of Three's Company. I think Jack leaned on one and burned his hand and his yell ruined the shoot (been a while since I've seen the episode).

....and all-terrain tires!

A bit of a creepy shot. I'd be scared to see what's downstairs... but I'd go anyway!

I'd want to lay on that stack of mattresses... after brushing it off, of course. What a nice place to rest after a while of exploring the building! Hopefully, no one left a pea under any of them.

I love the brick in these shots.

You should go back with a pair of old, beat up shoes and set them up at the bottom of the piano to make it look like someone is under there! Cool shot.

Blue marble floor? Interesting.

The green, peeling paint is oozing through the opening like the Blob!

Is that a door in the rear or an old sealed-up doorway? Lots of sealed up doorways fascinate me. There are plenty where I work. I like to imagine how the old room-to-room setup used to be. Maybe behind the sealed doorway is an empty closet or a formerly used hallway.

The roseola baby looks like Peter Lorre, maybe in that story/segment of the movie "Tales of Terror.

Looks like a lot of water damage. Maybe there was a bathroom or something directly upstairs?

Nice bricks. Peekaboo!

"By a waterfall, I'm calling yoo-oo-oo-ou!"

How long can a fire door stay closed anyway?

Looks like there's never any shortage of light in the room... except at night. I'm surprised there are no bats!

I could see someone stripping the tile to save it for another room somewhere else.

Those rectangles might be holes that were sealed in. They might have been windows or open places without glass, or built-in medicine cabinets with mirrors. I work at a place that was abandoned for a few years before it was renovated into a new kind of place and I saw a lot of the renovations. Those rectangle shapes remind me of the work of our maintenance crew in such a project.

I wash my hands of this whole thing! (joke)

I like those columns. I've never seen anything like that before. Maybe the Doric style is worth a little research....
