Larry @ Adria: Thanks for the feedback. I too would like to see these buildings saved & reused. They must have been impressive in 1964. Given the fact these photos were taken in 2005, I wonder what the state & status of this facility is today.

	Larry If you listen you can hear the voices of students past. The laughter & the tears, the joys & the sorrows. Amazing photo Motts.

	Larry Wow. The light beam is awesome. This room is almost trashed beyond recognition. Great picture.

	Larry I use to work in the old Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Dispensary. We autoclaved every night with one that was tiny compared to this monster. The heat & the pressure those things put out will put a hurting on ya real quick if you didn't know what you were doing.

	Larry Beautiful. A lot of work & craftsmanship went into this room. Thanks Mr. Motts for preserving this in stunning photography. It's been said that when a building becomes devoid of people, it dies. No matter how much money you throw at it, it's going to die & decay.

	Larry If you sweep & mop that floor, it would shine like a new penny.

	Larry Just look at that woodwork. Think of all the people who scampered up & down those stairs over the years.

	Larry Elena, the program you spoke of is called "Life After People". I agree, it's fascinating to watch.

	Larry Walking stick, the HIPPA laws refer to disclosing medical records or information. Nothing more.

	Larry I'm glad you have a "touch nothing, move nothing, take nothing". Some might be tempted to take some souvenirs. Beautiful shot.

	Larry Thank you for this exquisite gift Mr. Motts. I would be the first in line to purchase a book of your photos & harrowing stories of how you got the shots.

	Larry OMG! Now that's beautiful brickwork! Looks like one could move in tomorrow. What a contrast.

	Larry Normally I would be impressed with brickwork on a building. But have to say that this facility is butt ugly. So cold and impersonal. Who knows what nightmares occurred in these walls.

	Larry So cold and uninviting. Almost like a skeleton.
