I think if one of those doors did that to me, I'd be wringing out my underwear.

Another fascinating series. Just wish you had gotten inside the power plant. I would have loved to see some of the equipment and boilers.

Senseless Arson - probably an extension of the same twisted mentality that gives vandals a thrill when spray painting moronic graffitti or smashing windows, furniture, etc. Isn't it a shame that so many of our historic places have been or are being destroyed by these demented asses.

Travelling coast to coast on our interstate highway system, one will find these metal mirrors in most public rest stops. They are used in place of glass simply because moronic vandals cannot smash the metal as they would real glass mirrors. Sad commentary on some of our so called "sane" travelers.

Yeah, the idiots and their spray cans got loose here too. Shame that they couldn't have let the retards loose and locked up the morons and their paint sprays. Maybe they could have even sprayed each other into oblivion.

Sorry, but again a generator, not a turbine. This is my first visit to your web -- excellent. Hope you aren't offended by my corrections.

Fascinating old single cylinder stationary engine. Hard to tell from this angle, but it probably was powered by either steam or natural gas (pre diesel). By the looks of the belt pulley on the far side of the huge flywheel, it might have run the generator in the previous picture.

Beautiful photos. But it looks like what you have here is a very large generator, not a turbine. Apparently the hospital produced its own electricity sometime in the distant past.
