These buildings have really been kept up well. Such a beautiful campus!

Wow, I would have loved to be up there and just gaze out. I bet at night was pretty too but probably a doozy to see to climb up or down, lol.

They did an excellent job preserving this staircase! It is a true masterpiece

They should really save this place! I would pay to tour something like this!

WOW! It does look like a staircase out of a lighthouse. I LOVE that and I would be really shocked that it was even in here.

Wow, this place is massive inside and out!

Was that particular hallway dark Motts? It seems like the other hallway shots you took were lit with sunlight. I agree it looks creepy out there.

That's a mighty high window on the upper right. I LOVE these long hallways. I could wander around in here forever, just about, lol

So many people would love to have that in their homes! To appreciate something like that. I would actually like that. Motts, was that marble?

I could gaze out this window for awhile. Motts, what was the view outside this window?

I love old vent covers like this.

I'm sorry, but I just hate that blue color they used throughout the place. Maybe it was soothing for patients, I don't know.

That is one thick doorway!

I love those "curl around" banisters! It looks like the floor is sloping upward, but I'm sure that's not the case, lol

I agree Kathy. I hate vandals!
