Grandiose

Pandora

Makes me wish I had quite a bit of money. What I wouldn't give to salvage this building. Compared to alot of those I have seen, this one isn't too far gone. It could be grand if it was saved now

Gardens

Pandora

Although the green color sucks, since when its it ok to let architecture like this rot?

Rug

Pandora

The rug is a sad symbol. It makes me think that someone cared enough at one time that they took the time out to purchase and lay a really nice rug down in a sad environment

Sol

Pandora

This is truly sad. All this space could be turned into homes for those who are trying to get off the streets and make a better life for themselves. It is sad to see enormous structures such as this go unused while a portion of the world suffer from no roof over their heads

Appendage

Pandora

Once again..I am drawn to the floor pieces. Doesn't seem like it would take much to fix this up. Why let it rot?

Seats

Pandora

If I wasn't such a skeptic, I would think this the perfect place to run onto something

Auditorium

Pandora

Too bad the auditorium didn't stand on its own. Would be interested to renovate and make use of

Absolutely thrilling. I wanna run along the grounds and investigate every nook and cranny!

Hard to believe this place was once sterile
