I think that's where they kept the tavern apples.

Amazing heavy structural stuff. Must had taken a while for that to rot through and create a spectacular crash. Flying heads must had been flapping around frantically.

I hate when I get dive-bombed by flying heads.

Them flying heads with the wings on 'em are a scream! Do they fly around the place, diving and swooping? I hope they don't bite.

Great historical writeup. An amazing story. An effort similar to the Taj Mahal, just not on that scale. It's clear that the loss of Clement's wife was quite heartfelt for him. Sad that this tribute to her has not stood the test of time.

Just unreal how this place was left!

Hate drop ceilings, if that what it was

Just terrible to see beautiful, old places be left to rot like this

What a lonely and creepy hallway

Love stair case shots! I hope this place can be saved

Yay, an old house gallery!

Great yet sad history on this old place. The house has had so many owners. I would have loved to own this house!

I hope it doesn't meet its end with the wrecking ball and someone rescues this beauty!

I think it looks like the chinese (simplified) symbol for "Mother" Only real difference in the pictured symbol is the absence of a top line, but it appears from the photo there may have been one originally. That's my best guess.

The odd symbol looks like the chinese symbol Mu, which means Female, or Mother. Makes a bit of sense as this place had been used by Nuns in the past. Wonder who put it there? I doubt it is an original decoration, as Mott said it wasn't as decayed as other aspects of the building.

Thank you for the link, Jason Linetsky.
