The stand on the left is an IV pole - even the old glass IV bottles were hung using a hook and eye. The other two stands do look more like suction devices, albeit very old ones. What fabulous finds!

What a stunning stained glass window. I can't stand that they just demolished all this beauty! What a terrible waste :(

A surprising touch of feminine interior design. They weren't so generous with the mens rooms >.<

What an eerie, unpleasant location. I imagine it must have been a rather frightening place when it was in use, and it's still a bit scary now!

There are cage elevators that are surprisingly open - I've been in some that are open enough to have proper airflow and are built in exposed shafts with windows. I wonder if that was there case here?

All of the detail that goes into the construction of these old buildings - and it's not just decorative little bits here and there. Everything has been so expertly crafted to be aesthetically attractive and complementary to the surrounding architectural features. Even the staircase. I just love it!

You know Motts, I've gotten so used to seeing your photos devoid of people, it's a bit strange to see so many people in this shot!

I just LOVE the spiral effect of the lights and the walls - absolutely perfect!

Looks like something out of Silent Hill. Great shot.

This looks like something out the the hit AMC series, The Walking Dead. Where the words "Don't Open, Dead Inside" were written on a set of chain locked doors. Awesome shot.
