This grand old lady has life left in her. The building seems pretty solid. A million thanks, Mr. Motts. I can't think of anything greater than having a God given talent & sharing it with the world. You are truly The Master.

I'm with you ,Larry D

I was wondering if it was yellow paint or just old plaster which will turn to that shade of yellow?

My God, what a beautiful building. The stonework is spectacular.

Me thinks that bowl is glued to that board or that critter would have knocked it off....What do you think?

You put your head in there first Larry! LOL.Think you'd get a spark? Hey! it might work just fine...but you try it first :)

In the corner eating his porridge. Must have went for a walk while it cooled.

That's one heavy duty door. Fantastic shot.

stairs look to be in good shape at this point??

I wouldn't want to stand under that light.

Plug 'er in, fire 'er up, & see what happens!

More bare wall than paint at this point.

I lived in Knoxville Iowa for twelve years where they were a large VA hospital. When you were uptown you could always tell the VA patients by the pills ratlling around in their pockets.

GASP!! It's the fabled blue chair graveyard!

What an amazing shot.
