If that doorknob was brass, it would have tarnished a LONG time ago. Since this was built before the shiny fake-brass coating they put on doorknobs now, I'd say it probably is a glass knob.

Check the woodwork on the sides of the stair risers. They just don't build stuff like that anymore! Makes me wonder what the banister looked like...

If the door were made of tempered glass, it would look eerily similar to the first microwave oven I owned.

You know a building has been abandoned a long time when the boards they put over the windows have started to decay.

That's an amazing number of wooden chairs left to simply molder away.

Ironic sign... "FIRE" pointing down, to the hole in the floor... caused by water.

I guess they didn't worry much about cross-contamination then? Hanging meat on hooks... back before plastic wrapping on everything.

Thanks for the new gallery, Motts! It may be architecturally under-stimulating, but somehow anything you photograph becomes interesting in its own right.

ahhhhh much better! Thanks Motts I was wondering if you wold get one!

I can just hear the creaking of the wood.... sort of sad that it's a sound you just don't here anymore.

LOL you guys stole my though ^^

Nice wood!

looks alot like my neighbors house, i just wish they would put some fresh paint on it.

Tetanus is the first thing that comes to my mind
