Is that the outline of a trap door in the floor or just the way the old inlaid cracked?

Love the floors

Speechless...who installed all the tiles on the ceiling????

It was a rocking chair. Someone cut the rockers off and bolted the wheels on. It sure didn't come that way.

Wow.. I REALLY like this one. I have a thing for ivy.

How utterly peaceful...

I believe that a good urban explorer never takes things...other than pictures...home with them.

SO is someone redoing the stair rails? It looks like someone has been sanding them down.

It almost looks like tile floor...maybe just my imagination, but it almost seems you can see the lines between the tiles.

Ivy does grow quickly...it could grow nearly that much in a year. I mean, look at buildings with ivy on them, it dies out in winter and comes back in spring...

Again, what does the word on the wall mean? Did people get to look outside and enjoy, or was it merely a place to stop, reflect, and pray...

What does it say at the end of the hall? And can't you just see it...nuns silently gliding down the halls, eyes averted?

Love the vines crawling up the side of the building.

Beautiful staircase.

not quite the conventional 'one step closer to heaven'
