Most of the stairs were not even there. They were rotted or busted to keep people out. They had deteriorated and fell apart. Pretty cool climbing up the stairs on the frame only.

A lot of this has been written by people trespassing after it closed.

When I was in there a few years earlier the tunnels were flooded all the way up the stairs to the tunnel and we climbed into the building onto an overhang through the a window above a doorway. Pretty cool and very scary as well.

Interesting, all those windows in the overpass walkway & they still put a skylight in the middle of it. I do like the arched middle of the underside, as it adds to the character of the walkway.

Awesome pic

Now this is Photography at its finest!

Creepy :/

Awesome shot!

This is an awesome shot & such emotion in it. With the pose in this, she is knows she is a fallen angel & has been forever cast out of her home. The scratches behind her on the wall, to me, could be her reaching for Heaven & no longer able to get back there.

Motts, you & Candace did a wonderful job with this entire gallery.

They couldn't pull down the picture to use as a weapon so they used the mantle instead??....

What a shot, Drew & a nice title to it too, Motts.

It is wonderful to see so many fine pictures of these beautiful buildings. Imagine to live there in a good lofty flat, with huge windows! All gone now. You work is excellent and elegant and skilled. Thoroughly enjoyed this.gallery. Thank you. Be well and stay in joy.

Thank you for this gallery; it is very moving. It would have made beautiful apartments for many people. But NO! Human beings are strange. May you always be well is my daily wish.

No, nobody wanted to live here, they were left to crumble, and now they are gone. Such sadness. It is truly beautiful. The architect created a good-looking building; with good intentions. How was anyone to know it would go so wrong?
