Thanks, Motts - gives mystical otherworldly quality, enthralling; very cool tunnel indeed.

I believe it was referred to as "institutional green" Darlene, at least that is what all the people I heard refer to it say. It probably has a proper name more like what you suggest. There is a myth about the color being so ubiquitous after the war because of war production surplus of green pigment.

Thanks for the journey back in time of a flourishing enterprise. May it rise from the ash heap once again!

I can picture inebriated teenagers daring each other to climb this tower.

There must be some kind of thrill that people get from breaking windows in abandoned buildings.

What? The scavengers didn't take them?

Ah....instead of the lone chair, it's the lone tire!

To think that this place was buzzing with activity at one time. Hard to imagine.

Motts, I could never have figured out what this was if you hadn't said.

Now, what color of green would that be called? Spring green? Mint green? Seems it was popular back in the day.

And here we go again. More photos of lovely decaying buildings. Hooray!

Now thats some nasty splooge........

Thanks for the new gallery Motts! This last shot is CREEPY!! Do I see a tunnel going up at the top of the arch?I wonder where that would come up.....in the plqnt or outside?

Fantastic!

LOVE the angle here too!!!

I wouldn't climb that thing for any amount of money!!!

They could NOT be from a Packard...... ;)
