When did that moment come where the last person walked out of the front door, turned, locked it, threw the key in the bushes and said, there, that's it - my last day of work, old building friend of mine, we will leave you alone and stop scratching at your insides?

Your pictures hold such stories, I can't get away from my desk tonight looking at them! Thank you for the mini vacation.

This is most definately a hopper. I'm a nurse and have seen many of these in hospitals and nursing homes. It probably didn't have ice to hold organs, because it basically is a toilet. You can just see the handle at the top to flush it. You wouldn't sit on the hopper, it would be used to empty stool and stuff. The faucet would be used to rinse the container.

Guess that explains the 10 body capacity

Ive seen a lot of photos of this place and yours by far are exceptional. Amazing.

I like how someone took the time to carefully cover them up for future re-use.

What the crap is the photo supposed to be of, on the scale?? The illustration? Wait... thats the internal gears, huh..

Aw Man. What disrespect and foolishness people demonstrate by sloppily blurting out what the owner of the FUCKING SITE they're on has gone through the trouble of keeping under wraps, for obvious reasons. Shitheads.

Big Pooper for Big BUTTS

Our high school has a few of those!

This is the third photograph with clean floors. Were these photographs taken very soon after this building was closed down ?

Did someone sweep this floor before taking the photograph ?
