Yes! Another staircase! It reminds me of Jr. High School...but, Jason, I never lived in NYC.
I'm gonna vote for an old shower and/or tub room. BTW, Motts, is that your foot (or that of a friend's) propped up on that left window sill?
Oh, neato! I think the wallpaper makes it a tad more interesting, Iceberg.
Now this would be a nice calming hallway, except for the fact there would be large bars in my face every time I turned towards a window! But, anyway, nice photo, Motts, showing us the different paint colors & architecture in this place.
It amazes me how the paint on the left side of the ceiling can look in such good shape, and yet the paint has fallen off the right side wall AND the wall itself looks like it could collapse soon. I guess that's water damage for you!
Eewww!!! I seriously doubt an Architect designed this place! Perhaps, someone like a Civil Engineer designed this buildiing, instead? Civil Engineers design things like sewer systems! : D
Ut-oh! It's a shame this beautiful granite step came apart!
What a lovely photo of contrasts! The rough hewn stonework and the soft bright green vegetation! Not to mention your ''rare'' photo of a staircase outdoors. Truly love it!
The entrance, taken from this perspective, reminds me of the entrance to a church or synagogue. Nice!
I agree with Freespirit76. The mannequin head is trying to escape in this photo.
I'm surprised that grand old fountain is still working, too! Nice new Gallery, Motts! I wouldn't mind paying a fee to visit this place and help support it at the same time. However, I've never been into ghost hunting, although I'll admit I think there's a possibility ghosts could exist. I've just never made the acquaintence of one...yet. : )

Fascinating...the rest stops are often quite far apart in WV., I wonder if a once upon a time occupant wrote that and I wonder what it meant to them when they did so.

Prancer- see the "Shine" pic.

A very nice shot here. Keep these great galleries coming!

Is there a piece missing on top of that banister? Nice stairway anyway, and the 3-way archways are cool.
