Caro- They are simply buttresses, flying buttresses are never used internaly for they pull the weight away from the building and into the ground... a great example is notre dame!

I agree with the lowered ceiling comment. The tops of the arched windows are too close to the ceiling. The edges where the ceiling meets the wall are sloppy, especially on the lest side. The rectangle on the floor looks like tape to me. It looks like there is an aluminum pipe that rises to the ceiling on the right. I wonder what that was about.

The fireplace mantel was probably fantastic. I'm sure someone stole it. That really does look like a trap door in the foreground.

This shot makes my last comment a waste of time.

The chair is on wheels. It's an old office chair.

Looks like shards of the porcelain that were once the Jesus figure laying on the floor to the right of the cross.

There is a practical reason to use faux marble. A pillar of real marble would be too heavy to be supported by the wooden frame of that staircase.

This is not a door key. It is a furniture or cabinet key. I can tell by the shape of the top. The handle is very thin and there are two ridges just below it. Door keys have a thicker and more durable handle and no ridges.

The stairs must have been renovated shortly before the building was abandoned. There is no wear from foot traffic on those stairs. The corners are sharp.

Just to the left of the chair is what looks like a blue enamel-ware bowl turned upside down.

This doesnt even look abandoned.

Wow, this is beautiful, one of my favorite shots!

I think that is whats called faux marble, in other words fake.

imagine having to spend a night here all by yourself. That's the stuff of nightmares!

Is it me, or is there a little toadie inside? It might be some leaves, though...
