Agreed. I sense a general mushiness of said floor.

We are a society of waste, why would this be any different.

...thaaats depressing.

the buildings were built with old school carpentry and masson skills and solid oak and the best hard woods fresh cut from the forest thay were built to last hundreds of years not120 150 it would cost multi millions to try to copy and replace the buildings /let alone the cost for the skilled labor to do the work/we have plenty of parking lots /emty lots dont make jobs /or put roofs over peoples heads.give someone a place to live.and save the old woman and have her stay arounde for another 100 or 200 years look at the cost to replace them in 100 or so years verses the cost of the interest on the dollar/to repair them

it looks like part of a hand and rotted glove i have seen skin that colar when i was a grave digger years ago some one broke in to a cript and stoll a old womans head man it was a creepy

Looks like a decaying and descending or ascending set of stairs on a lop-sided wedding cake.

holocaust this, holocaust that. fuck you hollywood

I am planning a trip there from Northern Virginia. Who wants in?

... with a little cleaning this cd be the bathroom of some modern avantgarde city loft ...

hard to believe anyones still lives in a place like this - without electricity and with the f´in scary noises at night... man..

This facility must have just been vacated. It looks like it is in pristine condition.

I believe Canada's right that it was American Graffiti. Every year one of the local classic auto clubs hosted a night where that movie was shown, followed by a cruise up and down the pike. In 1987 or so there were so many muscle cars that the entire road shook from McDonalds to Roy Rogers.

Although most of the hospital shut down in 2003, these wards were closed back in the 1970s.

Too many photos, not enough time. It really takes a while to process each photo, write about and tag each one, organize into a gallery, write about the trip, then craft a few paragraphs on the history of the place after researching it.

I still do this today; I hope to post a handful of some recent trips in the Ephemera section every now and then just for fun.
