I live in Wilkes Barre and never got the opportunity to go inside the Sterling. Though I've always wanted to see it. Thanks Motts for traveling and taking this photos!

Details

It's amazing how there was so much care put into the construction of this facility and hardly any put into the people it was built for.

File Room

lola

my fingers are itching to get a hold of some of those papers....simply because they exist. pipe fittings sound great to me!

Admin Doors

lola

the emergence from the dark is just stunning...i seemed to, for a second, see the doors in their original beauty before realizing the room's actual state.

Small Window

lola

the solid red irritates me...makes me want to bust through it, let something else be seen.

Light Bulb

Cell Door

lola

i'm inclined to agree with the musings....there is a LOT of texture and color behind that door....makes me curious/nervous to find out what's inside

Curvature

lola

perhaps it is the curve, or simply the railing, but these stairs, very simple invention, have more DEPTH to them than my wee brain can comprehend

Reinforced Door

lola

the light through the bottom in this shot puts me in mind of a cabinet against a window or some other wholly unmoveable furniture, which only adds to the trapped feeling.

Tornado

lola

i, too, upon seeing this photo, was startled by the obviously agitating subject matter. quite a contrast to a guitar playing gentleman...

Orange Glow

lola

the orange glow seems reminiscent (sp?) of life in the building...contrasted by the very spotty blues....always a flicker, eh?

Solarium Bed

lola

the bed in the relative clutter-free section under the light gives a strange feeling of hope to this picture. simply lovely.

Balcony

lola
