Yep, the moisture and the changing temperatures over the seasons will cause the paint to crack and eventually peel or flake off. Many of these places were painted over old coats over the years, so there's usually various colors underneath each other creating an interesting effect (this room was yellow before white).

i was inside that place a few times about 5 years ago. When we went inside we sad cell phones and cameras with us which would not work until we left the building. Lots of un explianed foot steps and weird noises. The basement looks like a cave with a domed celing. all of the rooms are the same size with winding hall ways. very weird

I don't like the way that paint job turned out...or the icky way I can imagine fluorescent light glaring off it.

Smoking may calm the nerves, but it's still a communal health hazard-probably no longer encouraged as a coping mechanism. Architectural detail is a definite plus compared to our cookie-cutter construction.

"caged in" ...Come to think of it, that implies actual privacy. Wow!
