I think I understand that desire, Kikyo. Something draws people like us to these old buildings... not just the building, but the lifeforce once within and the fact that it's passed. Strange and sad story. What a pic... constructed with shades of the Greco-Roman. The Parthenon was made with talent and reverence to last thousands of years. This was built with similar craftsmanship, only to be felled after 155 years......

The words are used a bit differently in the United States. Morgues are usually located in hospitals with refrigeration units and sometimes an autopsy table, while mortuaries are the rooms at funeral homes where bodies are embalmed and prepared for the family.
