Just did a quick trip inside today, awesome place. My dad worked here in 1990/1991 and I always wanted to check it out

Rotunda

Kurt

This room has the appearance of a most elegant 18th/19th century ballroom, it's spectacular.

Covered

Kurt

yes, i'm quite surprised the company left them there, entire carousels can fetch millions at the right auction, there aren't many of them left

Scrolls

Kurt

It looks like there was something in the center at one point. But it broke off. Maybe it was a vase or potted plant or marble torch.
The architecture is simply amazing, unfortunately in our age they put more emphasis on getting a building up quickly instead of beautiffuly.

Mourning

Kurt

Someone sliced of it's left hand. Unless it was made without a left hand. It looks too clean cut to have naturally fallen off.

Furnace

Kurt

For some reason I can hear Mozart's requiem in the background. hauntingly beautiful.

Capone's Cell

Kurt

I would love a closeup of that painting. It looks almost like a Picasso work. What is that in the back wall? A Radio?

Worn Away

Kurt

It looks like a scene from The Adoration of the Magi. Regardless, it is far too beautiful to be left to rot in an old prison.

Stairwell

Scary, I beleive they were going to film a movie here. I read recently that Martin Scorcesse was hoping to set a film with DiCaprio and others at this location. But, since the building is getting the axe (regrettably) Martin and company couldn't film there. Shame

Path

Kurt

When all this is gone, only your photographs will be around on the internet to remind us of this buildings magnificence and splendor. This photo is truly a piece of history in and of itself. Thank-you.

Clock Tower at Night

Kurt

The building (and photo) are simply amazing, beautiful. Words cannot describe my anger that this complex is being torn down. At least the facade of the clock tower will remain to overlook the city.

Vacant

Kurt

Word to the wise, don't stare at this picture when the rest of the house is dark and you're home alone...trust me.

Altar

Kurt

Haha yeah, reminds me of End Of Days where they attempt to sacrafice the chosen one on the altar.. Hmm

Altar

Kurt

Wow, thats a beautiful altar..
Probably worth a fair bit with a little restoration.
Love the shot!

Quite stylish really.

Ok, thanks, thats what i thought, perspective.

Artificial Light

Kurt

The irony is, when this hospital was in use I don't think that tree was there, it looks pretty young to me. So when the person woke up all they saw was an empty field, sad.

Glimmer

Kurt

Just think, becasue of those splendid arch ways this crypt may stand for another 200 years. I hope so.

Rose

ED i wondered that too, If a noble from the Tudor family was buried here. If so then i would be very excited, I'm a nut on the subject of Tudor family history.

Out of Reach

Kurt

I kick myself for being a coward, had I been in your shoes, I would have only gotten exterior shots, but you are one brave soul and I thank you for it, again.

Creak

Kurt

It looks as if the crypt had some sort of latch, on the INSIDE, weird...anways...great picture as always your photography skills are greatly appreciated by all of us

Jewel

Kurt

That casket looks small, although people were generaly shorter in the 1800's it's probably just a perspective thing. Can you fill me in Motts?

Rest

Kurt

By the way, theres a crypt in my towns graveyard that I assume looks just like this on the inside, someday I will go in, someday...
