I really like this photo, Motts! Very nice!

If this fire was not an accident, all I can say is that I will NEVER understand arsonists.

Alright! Another staircase, Motts! Albeit a bit rickety looking one. Check out those actual stair steps! From what I can see they look really worn. Just think how many feet have walked up and down those stairs over 100+ years! Don't ya just love history!?...Also, I really like the old wooden banister.

That's a nice and interesting photo, Motts! Are those stairs I see to the left? : )

I think the lone chair collapsed from a broken heart because it had about given up on Motts coming to photograph it. Then, to add insult to injury, he puts other things in the photograph along with the chair! It was just more than it could handle! : (

Oh, yuck! The ''Institutional Lime Green'' paint color strikes again! All the paint companies must get rich manufacturing this color...but none will admit it. : )

If this building had children's wards in it the Murphy beds could have been for parents to sleep on, so they could stay with their young children overnight in the hospital. I know that when I went into the hospital when I was 6 years old, my Mom stayed overnight with me by sleeping on a Murphy bed in my hospital room. That was back in 1967. (Now everyone knows what an old person I am.) : D

Oh, joy! Another gallery! Thanks, Motts. Am looking forward to it!

First comment. :)
Mr. Motts, Norway has an Archipelago to the north, Svalbard. There is a lot of abandoned coalmines around Longyearbyen. An an abandoned russian city called "Pyramiden" some hours away with a snowmobile. If you have the opportunity to go there it is a great place to visit. Just watch out for polar bears..

Art Deco Style?

It came loose, lost the nail methinks, it was the other way with a name card maybe?

Hmmmmm
....not sure, Lucielou - am a little bit scared of these places - and often think Motts is bold brave and valiant...............OK you go first....?

Ohhhh thank you LucieLou! Transom Window, very clever - yes we have seen them in a couple of places.
Grew up in a beautiful huge apartment building, constructed 1895 - and we had them everywhere - and each time see them think of my fine childhood there.

Yes, indeed - and hopeful too, the light at the end, golden.

The Lion Paws are stolen/taken?
Ohhhh how i love that light......
