This gallery was filled to the brim with love and sadness...love for the beauty of this place and sadness to see it in the winter of its life. Thanks Motts for the gallery and for letting us see the beauty through your eyes.

I want a lock like that one.
I'll find a use for it eventually.
Someone's collage still can be seen..
First thank you for the before shot! I love seeing how they looked in use. The recent photo is surreal - the fog on the lens adds to it immensely. Sure looks clean too. Odd - some parts have collapsed and others are pristine. Very little graffiti.

True but that's why we have 9 lifes.
What was the purpose of the squares above the doors? Were they transom windows? These halls are really wide - unlike construction today. Stellar shot.
