Motts, thank you for sharing a view of something I never thought I would see. I used to live very close by to the FSH- just down main street. I grew up around that area. I have always been intrigued by what it might look like inside. It is even better than I have imagined. Thank you for opening the doors for all of us and in such a splendid, artistic way.
You do not just take photographs but create mood and atmosphere. It's as if we were creeping along the corridors with you, ears straining to hear because something.... something made a noise down the dark hall behind us. Eyes flicking from door to door searching for the shadow we could have sworn detached itself from the blackness. Your photography is both beautiful and moving and I am honored that you have chosen to share it. Thank you. Dawn C.

Motts You are an awsome photographer i love your work especially this set of photos cant wait to see more .

I actually lived in a house that had one of these tubs. Lordy, I loved that thing. Could lie full length and just bathe. The bars around the outside are water pipes carrying the water to four jets on the inside which is how the tub fills. The square thing is a water outlet in addition to the one in the bottom. Around the outside of the tub, above the bar, but below the lip, there were pegs that one could attach a canvas cover to.

Oh wow! I nearly frogot about those sinks. We had those in the grade school(s). I liked them b/c the way the water came out reminded me of the rainforest building at our local zoo.

It looks kind of creepy

I never saw sinks like those before. Very interesting.

Hes probley eating lunch.

Looks like my grandmas bath room.

Are those windows fenced in?
