Wow. Would have been a surprise to open the door and be in the middle of activity!
Old equipment seems in relatively good shape.
Strangest looking washer I have seen. Great shape!

Interesting room. Is the floor wooden?
The doors were metal?
The paint is falling off the walls but that board and calendar are in great shape!
The color changes going down the staircase - the high ceiling and the window shedding its light on the stairs....stellar!

Was this part of the attic that was converted into dormitories? I noticed the sloping ceiling lines.
No roof - the beginning of the end if its not fixed. Your status on this is abandoned. Are they going to try to save it? Or just demo like they do everything else.
They sure did love this color! It does beat pepto pink tho.

No graffiti seen so far. Nice, large room.
Dayroom? Ward? Nice wide window ledges. Awesome!
The orange light looks like bits of flame. Beautiful lighting. Great capture.
Is this a porch? It looks to me like the building wall is in teal and this might be a sun porch.

I like the orange light reflections. Those antique doorknobs are calling my name. They appear to be in great condition.
