I wonder if any elements of this site can or will be saved? Although with the sad aura surrounding these places the developers might just want to bulldoze everything (oh wait, they do that everywhere) it seems a shame to lose these beautifully crafted details.

AVE SATANAS! Lol
I'd love to film some sort of murder movie there involving satanic cults. If not that just do some B&W stills of the same subject matter.
Think the guards will take a $50 bribe?
Such a beautiful mantle. This tile work was comissioned by the Hartford Faience Company when the hospital was built around 1907. It is one of the only extant installation from this company that I am aware of in the state. Does anyone know if it still intact?

Several years ago I saw similar push button light switches in an abandoned house. It was a huge temptation to pull out the Leatherman and "recycle" them. The house has since been rehabbed and is again occupied. Hope the new owners appreciate and kept those wonderful switches. They are amazingly tactile and have a satisfying click.

Hello, greetings from Mexico. I am an antiques restorer. I've restored old projectors, and I've arranged each piece of a projector Simplex XL and E-7 working as a completely new projector.
It is a very though job. I wonder if you are interested in purchasing this beautiful museum piece.
Up next, I attach a couple of pictures of the projectors.

I send you my best regards and I expect your response. angelicalopez99@hotmail.com
It IS quite terrible because it looks like a ZOO.
Am old enough to remember when animals were kept like this in the fifties.

Dual fuel burners (maybe Peabody?), the yellow lines in the previous picture are for gas, and we're looking at where the oil "gun" would be slotted in when firing on oil. One valve is for the oil line, and one for the atomizing steam.
