Breathtaking. An important point made here about graffiti/vandalism. One of the buildings I shot here in my hometown was an old dairy; a gorgeous, hulking mess of rotting warehouse with a now-rusted top-to-bottom 30ft. milk bottle standing atop it. This building hadn't been used as the dairy since the early 60s, and I have no idea why it stayed as was but I was grateful... to me, it was beautiful, and I used to smile up at that thing every time I drove by. USED to. Damn glad I got my shots off before some yammerhead found his way up there to "tag" the entire circumference of the bottle with whatever-it-says. Sigh.

I love when there's still a framed picture on the wall of a decrepit room... decor's still trying somehow to brighten up the place...

These beds seem to be quite old. Horsehair ceased to be used as a mattress-stuffer around the end of the 40s, I believe. Defffffinitely not your regulation, hypo-allergenic hospital-approved stuff used today.

Sometimes when hospitals are evacuated, and particularly before demolition or renovation, crews go through to mark areas they are making sure are empty, spray-painting an x or something similar when they've checked. Some laws require this final check, due to squatters and -ahem- wandering photographers;). Dunno if that's what it is, but it's a possibility, and maybe they changed their minds about tearing up this area.
