See! Dropped ceiling covering up what could be something different & interesting. This was on its way to becoming an antiseptic tube long ago =( It's like the building has now dropped its antiseptic tube pants and is running for freedom! I'm not sure what that means... What did I just say?!
Was there a fire in this part of the building? The upper walls and ceiling leading into the gaping maw look kind of sooty. Even the lines left by condensation on the walls look sooty.
i bet they had a in and out and you can see on the left side its like a different landing to some stairs, it does look odd the door is not in line with the arch.
Great contrasts here, Motts! This looks like the gaping black maw of some diabolical abyss... it's so creepy! And yet at the same time, diametrically fascinating... I want to run in there and check it out... but at the same time I want to run away screaming... so confused...
And the semi-circular window above the doorway... That's pretty, too. That doorway's kind of wierd, too, no that I really look at it. There's only one door... Right in the middle of the opening... wierd.
This is kind of a creepy looking pic! The way the banister's all jagged and kind of thwanged off to the side at the end there make it look kind of like a creepy little stairway to nowhere. But the ceiling sure is pretty! =)
This is so beautiful. It's like it's been sitting there, frozen in time, just waiting for someone to come back and care. This room is so beautifully preserved, it seems like you could just sweep the little debris up off the floor, turn on the lights, and it would be all ready for a holiday ball.
How beautiful is that?
Love all of the different windows and way the doorway is framed.
There are quite a few sets of windows with three to them, and because it's a church,
I keep thinking of the trinity.
I hope they're not going to renovate this into some kind of antiseptic tube. What beautiful colors. Even the colors of decay are beautiful in this photo.
