We have these in the ladies rooms in some bathrooms on the Umass Amherst campus.

I am going to college right around the sterling, and the back building is torn down, partially at least, but I have heard that demolition became too expensive, and was stopped. Most of the building still stands. The outside looks almost exactly the same as the pictures. Most buildings in the town of Wilkes-Barre are abandoned.

Coal Shute Sledding in PA- appears safer than the luge in British Columbia

Hey Motts, if you ever get the chance to come to north east England again check out St Peters in Gainford. It used to be anorphanage, then an all boys school, then a nursing home. I remember going there when I was about six singing with the school choir. It's boarded up but i bet you'd still be able to get in.
There's some pictures of it on here: http://www.28dayslater...howthread.php?t=5651

Himmler and in the middle of the pic, that must be Göbbels.

Lolita, Kira is also a name for females here in Germany.

And on the right side one can read: Teuf - I think its teufel, that means devil.

Great shot but I love the shots in hte older buildings much better. You can sure tell the difference.

This shot really brings it home, even though we sit here on our comps looking at these pics, hhere it is.... people really did live here in varying degrees of illness, something so personal, left behind, on purpose I think to remend us that there is a history ......

I'm sorry I am not usually the type of person who likes to argue but this really burns my butt!! To all of those who are really "tresspassing" the ones who are stealing, damaging, partying and playing around in these buildings; you are the ones that need to be kept out!!! You are the reason that these buildins have to be boarded up. walled up and patroled regularly. Could you imagine if they could take the money that they have to spend on security and possibly use that money to make it reativly safer for people like Mr. Motts and the like to go in and record their history? At the very least you guy that have no respect for these ancient artifacts other thatn the cheap thrill and the all mighty dollaar arre the problems here making it harder and harder for the UEs who just want to capture a diamond in the rough, a thing of beauty that at the rate this world is going will soon be forgotten. Thank you Motts for the work that you do! Because of your insight and remarkable talent these relics will be recorded forever.

Again, These hallways just speak to me. Thinking about the people who lived and worked here. And with the light pouring in for the rooms, the windows at the end like eyes looking out hopefully.... Thanms Motts for another great shot. Shout out to Kathy who is down here somewhere visiting anew as well.

Wallpaper please!
This is gorgeous. Truly one of the best sets you have done yet, Motts.
Take a bow, you've earned it.

WOW!!!! again you have floored me with your hallway shot. You havr such a great talent, did you study photography or was it just something that you just picked up and realized that you were really good at? Because it takes a pair of good eyes to compose this.

Just sitting here in the window waiting on a huge snow storm to arrive and came across this...... amazing.... the depth, lighting..... I'm without words..... you really captured the size.....WOW!!!!!!

I must agree with Tootuncommon. I am new to the site as well and have really enjoyed the many comments and have learned alot from them being here and I actually feel that I can comment whereas I don't on any other site that I have been on. But I do realize how long that the comment pages can get because I am one of the ones who sit up late reading all of them. So maybe a little pruning may be in order.

Another great gallert Motts thank you! Now back to page 5 as I said I haven't quite gotten though all you past work yet. Can't help but get caught up in it!

I am enchanted.... perfect shot, exsposure, lighting...

It looks like they might have built that ramp to remove all of the light and sound equipment when they closed.

More like into the deep. I stubbled onto this site about a month ago and haven't been all the way through yet. I must say Motts that you have captured the essence of all your subjects and I am absolutely enthralled! Shoutout to Lynne and JohnnyMac for all their comments and all the sacrifices they make on a daily basis to make someone elses life better. Motts keep up the outstanding work you are recording history here, thank you!

The sinks with the double faucet heads are very similar to the sinks in my dormitory.

Happy Holidays to all of you Sunny Croft memory keepers. This has been a wonderful gift you have shared. You all may have been before my time at the Ranch, but reading your notes has been a pleasure.
I am the widow of Artie Lieb , we owned the Sunnycroft for 6 years (1979 - 1985) my seven children worked and lived with us at the property . Would love to hear from anyone who lived or worked at the property.

Love the website, it looks great. Can't wait to check everything out. You are now at the top of my favorites list. :o)

This is an awesome set of photographs and an awesome structure. I have visited every abandoned building site I could find on the web and this site is by far my favorite. You have a great eye and a reverence for the places you explore which comes across in your galleries and the information you provide about these places. I look forward to seeing more of your work. I really wish you'd publish a coffee table size book of your photographs. I find them endlessly fascinating. Thank you for all the work you put into this site.

Wow.. what a gigantic structure. Crazy nothing's being done with it anymore. Thanks for the set, I really enjoyed it!

hahaha Lucie!!!!!! I didn't actually notice all the writing on the background when you post a comment. This site is so cool :D
That's crazy about the guy falling down the elevator shaft in the other building. You won't see me ever looking down one of those things. Great photo.. though sad to see what it's become.

Woaaaah, magnificent! Walking through there must have been so amazing.
