Its probably walnut. The grain is too fine to be oak. Walnut carves and turns easily too. Believe it or not, I've actually heard of someone who salvaged bit and pieces of mansions that were about to be torn down and used them to build a new house. He used whatever struck his fancy instead of just what he needed and had apparently many staircases in the house that he just couldn't bear to see destroyed.

perhaps this was a room used for punishment for those who acted up from time to time? or perhaps a room for extras like medications the nurses may have used ? email me to let me know your opinions on my idea? at justicedreams24@aol.com

Brad and Sage: I don't believe in taking things out of buildings like this, as it's stealing. However, if I knew this building was going to be torn down next week, and they weren't allowing people to attempt to salvage first, yes I would probably take this too. It is too beautiful to allow it to be destroyed for no good reason. But as long as this building isn't in danger of being destroyed, you should leave it alone. It doesn't belong to you.

Then again, how do you go about stealing a fireplace anyway? Seems kinda big to be sneaking out with...

Maybe even taggers have some respect? It's a nice thought, but they probably just haven't found it yet... stupid taggers.

Yeah, but what song could possibly complement that room? Stairway to Heaven would be cool, but I think maybe something really metal and industrial?
