I am a recovering Mottsaholic, but there is nothing wrong with coming back for a taste once in a while. Last year of college allows only for so much time.

I can see your bank lobby idea, but titanic was the first thing to come into my mind.

This place looks like it was only abandoned yesterday. Those windows are just immaculate not to mention the whole place is a marble palace. I hope this place does not end with a fate like Danvers.

Thanks for telling me about the forum Lynne. Gosh, this place has changed since I was here last. But still incredible Motts!

Another immaculate, untouched place. Thanks for sharing Motts!

Haha, Yay! someone who knew the State's motto. I"m from CT and the little plants in the seal are olive branches. I Love this site and was suprised to see how many hospitals were actually in my boring little state. Keep the pics comming!

Very cool - good eye for details. Keep it up.

I have to say I have mixed feelings about the demolition of some of these sites.

On the one hand, it will be a shame to lose them. On the other hand, however - many of them have outlived their usefulness.

I think the true sin in this isn't the demolition of abandoned and decayed buildings - but the abandonment to begin with. Allowing such treasures to rot away until there isn't much left that can be done aside from tearing them down is the true "crime."

No blue, you are not.

strange to see images that represent so many feelings carried through so many years... sorry to be the crazy poet head, i identify with each twist of the rusted metal spring... spring carries on outside, yet sadly locked away.

silent screams are not always so silent... am i the only one who has ever been locked behind such doors?

lost and lonely... i believe i have spent a night or two.

Johnny, come over to the forum. For the address, see below the messages in the fine print.

OK, so I have a tendency to get addicted to message boards, so I have been avoiding posting on your site motts. But I can't hold it in anymore. Amazing shots, I now devote all of my spare time to opacity and it's glory!

man, i live in preston, and i am personally against Utopia. i heard about people going in and taking pictures, so i found yer site here, and i am amazed. cant wait to get in and take my own, who knows what will happen to it when.
thanks,
