Authoguy,
I deduce that is not Asbestos. If it were period asbestos in that place it would have been covered in canvas and mastic. You can see the pieces are not covered in canvas as there would be signs of it.
The post Asbestos standard would be to use calcium silicate. That is what those pieces look like. They might still use canvas and mastic but since there is no sign of it I figure they used metal which was probably .032 paper backed aluminum sheets. It's probably missing because a scrapper took it. The insulation must have been taped in place as I do not see the more usual wires to tie it on. The insulator also was probably not professionally trained as there is no staggering of the joints. so there would be hot spots at the end of each section. It may be that the insulation was to prevent people from touching hot pipes (it appears to stop at the height most people can reach easily) not to save the heat since there is no sign of enough to have covered the pipe all the way up.

I agree with autoguy

oh well

its ok, the attic room is still my fav:)

looks like an awesome place to hang out:)

now that's depressing:(

needs work but I love it.

The Zombies exited via the back door.

Wonder why the bed frames were not salvaged and sent to some of the poor countries where people have no bed at all and sleep on the floors or ground???

Looks as if the door has been kicked closed more than a few times.

Again this is not an autopsy table but more of an embalming table.

That brown jug contained embalming fluid, the metal table in previous picture is an embalming talbe not an autopsy table.

So creepy!!

Slightly morbid but I love the morgue shots.

I love the old paperwork. It makes these places seem more real.
