Alex J:

I would bet most if not all of the original ceiling is still there. They would just suspend the new drop ceiling down from the old one. and being there seems to be no damage to the drop ceiling as of yet it would also mean the roof isnt leaking or not very much so the old ceiling probably still looks pretty good.

Did you try to take a peak up into the ceiling mr. Motts to see if it was still there?

These ones just didnt get picked up.

Skylights...and they always leak...just look where the moset decay is at...

Loot like most of what I have seen so far of the damage is just from that....water..leaking roof, windows being open or broken. Doesnt seem to be much in the way of vandals....Is that what you noticed also Mr. Motts?

Mathue: I saw that too....I would guess that the ceiling was added sometime later. and that the trusses where exposed when it was a new building.
