Very very cool shot! Although I'd be a little nervous going through that room lol.

muy buena ( todas )

I did a bit of searching, but can't find a year. The part that was the victim of arson was built in the '20s or '30s, though, from what I can find.

Welcome, by the way. Always nice to hear from a lurker now and then.

By the way.. Welcome. Glad to have ya
*takes a piece of chocolate* Thanks for sharing.

I don't believe he posted anything regarding the year built.

Considering it was a TB Hospital to start I would wager late 1800's to Early 1900's.

I'm sure he'll chime in with the answer once he sees this again.

Very nice!

First thought that popped into my head, though, was "Mexican Sombreros"!

I've been a big Opacity fan since last year April '05, but, have made very few posts (quiet respect). I just gobble up every photo and every gallery for hours on end!

Motts, you are absolutely wonderful, talented, and truely has what it takes to have an ever-growing fan base!

Now, this place is jumping with lively talk, so I am chiming in! *waves to everyone*

Now, for my question...I either missed Mott's notion in his description, or it was left out: <b>Does anyone know when this place was built?</b>

Thanks! *passes chocolate to all*

Eerie but beautiful but thats what I expect from Motts.

creepy but the light at the end gives a sense of hope

I really respect what you do, sucks how sometimes the past is just plowed over and forgotten forever. But we got people like you who risk their butts going into these places preserving them in film. Thanks alot man.

Really flippin awesome shot. THis is is especially shweet cuz it looks so artistic with the chair and the peeling paint. Looks almost like a sculpture that takes years to make. Great job capturing it and thanks for showing it

Its a giant autoclave. They normally have a carriage/sliding element that can be drawn out of the apparatus. This particular one is so large because its laboratory -scale. In the old lab I worked in, there was one that was so large that you could easily put a SmartCar in it. It was massive.

Wax paper is often used in labs dealing with cell cultures. Especially labs using PVA as it prevents cell adhesion. This would fit with the room having the appearance of a morgue but without the table.

I'm personally thinking thank god. I can't tell you the number of times I'm in the lift and thinking corrrrr I could go for a loo in here.

Lynne is right, its a surgical aspirator. The modern ones arent far off from this one.
