I Love your photos! I've been doing a little trespassing myself to try and attain some great historic shots. Love the old architecture. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah those are fire bells and an alarm button below, you can also see the smaller general purpose bell above. There are a few more captured in Mott's work around this site, trying to find them all is like an easter egg hunt:) If I saw these in person, I could probably tell who made it, as I frequently admire old alarms whenever I see some. -Robert B.

Are those some sort of alarm bells on the right wall in front of the door?
There also seems to be a push-button box below them, all attached thru an electrical conduit. Fire alarms? Panic buttons maybe?????

Is it 1930-ties construction + fabrication???
