Love the new gallery , Motts!! Makes my day too!!!

"Cold table" is a good title. Ever plop your carcass on one of these wearing nothing but a hospital gown? The peeling paint is the first sign of decay I've seen. I hope this building remains frozen in time & doesn't fall victim to vandals.

OOH OOHHH! I know what Candlepin Bowling is!!

Never played it but I know what it is! (I am from Scranton PA)

And yes...this was in my dream, though I don't quite remember the details since it WAS a while ago. I just know that I was in some kind of institution and as a daytrip we went bowlng and the lanes are DEAD on to this one. Kind of ironic that this picture is IN an institution isn't it?

Thank you Motts for bringing my nightmare alive. :) Good eye though!

LOL AD Nilsen...you crack me up buddy. :D

I can sleep better now knowing that I DO exsist dang it! LOL!

MMMM me either AD Nilson (nice to see you again BTW)...

Not unless you want to glow GREEN for the rest of your days and have random body parts falling off.

*Shudders at that thought*

BKW--I would think if there WERE an emergency or disaster that a lot of people would be trampled to death. That isn't good. DEF. not up to code by today's standard I am sure.

That too...oooh...a ZOMBIE McDonald's!!! That's it!!

OOOoh...look up at the ceiling on the far right and you CAN see that tiles are missing.

*Lonely Tile(s) Shot?*

The tile is so clean. It looks like they walked away yesterday. I'm sure it's durable & easy to clean but it sure lacks the character & craftsmanship of older buildings.

Candlepin Bowling. Unless your from the Northeast you more than likely don't know what this is. Love it.

Maybe the tiled one was for patients, the one with the red overhang was for staff lectures and presentations and this wood panelled one was for doctors?? Thanks again for a great gallery Mr. Motts. I look forward to the next one, soon I hope.

Once again a great shot showing Motts' unique talent.

Thanks for the before picture, it adds a lot. Once again, Mr. Motts your eye is excellent, in tilting your shot to add more angles to those in the walls and windows...so much more interesting than taking the photo straight, as one normally would.

You're right, Ferdy, I hadn't noticed that. With all those seats and only one aisle on one side, I'm sure that would be a building code violation, today anyway. In an emergency, I'm sure lots wouldn't get out. (I work with disaster planning.)

Yes, strange that the theatre is tiled. I wouldn't want to have a fire drill in there either, there is no room to move or exit.
