This one feels pleasantly "balanced" to me. Not symetrical, bu balanced. Nice combo of colors, patches of light, curves and straight lines.
Could be wrong, but i think these are called "hip vaults".
Just needs some pews and some stained glass.
Baker-Miller Pink. Yeeecchhhh!!!. It looks like that thing would suddenly open big wide eyes and start walking toward you..(thump...thump...thump...). Actually, there are two dark-ish spots toward the top that kind of LOOK like eyes...or is it only me who sees that ?
(to the tune of the old 80's song)...."I always feeeel like....somebody's WATCHING meeeee......". Weird that this isn't just a small window. Seems like it would be hard to see through....hmmmm.

Thanks; I can't say for sure but I believe either one or both right-side doors were used to access the refrigeration machinery. If only one door was used for access, the other was most likely for storing tissue samples or body parts that needed to be refrigerated.

Hello, Mister Motts if I'm allowed to call you that! haha, I've been fallowing your albums for quite a while and they more then intrigue me, I enjoy so much seeing old buildings such as this, it has always facinated me I'm not sure why, asylums mostly, finding this site has really kept me busy and very entertained, I wanted to thank you for all of the great photogrophy and to say I am very jelous of you mister! I hope one day I can do what you do and travel to abandoned places, learn their history and get some great memories it seems you have fun! though it is quite creepy at the say time, don't you ever get scared?

These doors seem to get bigger one after the other from the left down to over, did you know the reason for that? It's interesting in design and I'm wondering if there was a function for it, or is it just for show.

Thanks again for all the great pics and keeping us entertained, can't wait to see more!

Makes me wish I had quite a bit of money. What I wouldn't give to salvage this building. Compared to alot of those I have seen, this one isn't too far gone. It could be grand if it was saved now

Although the green color sucks, since when its it ok to let architecture like this rot?

The rug is a sad symbol. It makes me think that someone cared enough at one time that they took the time out to purchase and lay a really nice rug down in a sad environment
