Same call bells still used today.

Beautiful.

who pays the electric bill? hehee:)

I've pressed many of those buttons in my life!!

If I'm not mistaken, that was a pretty good salary in 1968. Year End Dow Jones Industrial Average 943 Average Cost of new house $14,950.00. Average Monthly Rent $130.00. Gas per Gallon 34 cents. Average Cost of a new car $2,822.00. Movie Ticket$1.50. The Federal Hourly Minimum Wage is $1.60 an hour.

Excellent set. Thank you!

Hmmm, yeah...Freespirit76, me too, and:
Wonder how this place looks like from OUTSIDE at night; eerie uncanny light-up in halls and some rooms gives ghastly gleam glimmer......?

I'm sure they're social security numbers and e-thing else is laying in that pile too. You have to hope they still had family that came to see them.

Look how the stage curtain is like brand new. No dust, no moths...?

I made 5400 a YEAR working for the federal government in 1968. And I had money left over at the end of the pay period! I am still working for the federal government and not so much left over at the end of the pay period.

Is that a faux plaster effect?

Thanks for the gallery Mr Mott.

Yup. Grab a space heater, hot plate and a TV and you're set!

Hard to say why the power is still on. The buildings were in such good shape we thought it was possible the security guard was doing rounds inside the place, but if the buildings are officially "condemned," I imagine guards aren't permitted to go inside due to liability concerns (although some do anyway).

That train of thought reminds of Byberry too; we had cops literally yelling at us 50 feet away, but they wouldn't step inside the place. Then, of all people, a building inspector plunges to his death on a rusted stairwell, so there you go. What a crazy place that was.

Sad, just sad.

All the walls have sun burn, they are peeling. :)
