I just found another poop artist on Flickr...

Ceiling Designs

Puddleboy

The peelingness of the paint is creating it's own design

Lucky 13

Puddleboy

...but there is another sign under that one. I wonder what it said?

Scientific Apparatus

Puddleboy

Actually, it's an early attempt at a lava lamp

Mechanics

Puddleboy

Looks like part of an old printing press, but that doesn't line up with the old bottles in the background. Maybe it's a hand-cranked bottle washer

Victorian Graffiti

Puddleboy

It might be pretty, it might be lonely, but it doesn't look very comfortable

Toward the Thames

Puddleboy

And next to the clock, you'll see a little outhouse (LOL) In deeping deeper into this picture, I'm stumped on those things that look like barrels

Selective Treatment

Puddleboy

I couldn't help but notice the 'Top Rank' logo on there. I know they made records and movies, but hospital equipment???

Double-X

Puddleboy

I think it's just another explorer marking the trail, for a later group to follow. The X's might mean these rooms are more interesting.

Wall

Puddleboy

It's hard to find in the winter. You'ld never find it in the summer. The area is highly poisoned so not worth trying. I've been there twice since my post here a year ago. Oh yes, the graffiti has completely faded away.

Photograph

Puddleboy

I've leave it too. That guy looks like he's got a tree growing out of his head (LOL)

Pink X

Puddleboy

Possibly another explorer marking their trail so they could find their way out.

Rest

Puddleboy

Motts, your luck never fails to amaze me. What a great find!!!!

Ystafell Fwyta

Puddleboy

Actually, it's an anagram for 'Flat Sweaty Fly'

Pepsi

Puddleboy

I'm gonna put a mid 70's dating on this machine, 'cause of the 35 cent price and the 'served in cans' inscription. 60's machines were 25 cents (or less) and dispenced you a bottle. 80's machines were 50 cents and more colorful.

Atrium of Death

Puddleboy

My guess is that the curtains were taken after the place closed. The plants were already dead.

Unit

Puddleboy

Reminds me of a radio. Possibly a short wave set. I can see what's left of an antenna.

Frame

Puddleboy

Yes, it appears that there was once wallpaper on these barren walls. You can see little bits and pieces of it.

Destruct

Puddleboy

I was thinking the same thing. I've never seen that pattern before. Pretty freaky.

Pink

Puddleboy

It might have faded over the course of time.

Location: Severalls Hospital  Gallery: The Beginning of the End

Florid Doors

Puddleboy

All cleaned up and waiting for inspection

The Inside

Puddleboy

The fabled gloom of the door to nowhere?

Location: Severalls Hospital  Gallery: The Beginning of the End

Search for Light

Puddleboy

Poor ivy plant doesn't know it's doomed. It might be as old as the building, as these (like wysteria) were once planted as ornamental plants.

Anatomy Theater

Puddleboy

Graffiti is not art. It is the defacing of property, however it ~is~ a fect of modern life, and I will respect what has been done.

There are other galleries within this website that show buildings in their natural decaying beauty, with little or no human Krylon markings. The faded walls with chipping and peeling paint are nothing short of fantastic. Seek them out.

Damp

Puddleboy

This picture is so good, I could almost smell the mold and dampness.
