haha when me and my buddies were 14-15 we chucked matresses and chairs out this window. SO crazy looking at this pic

This is a great picture. However being red/green color blind I dont see the "beautiful colors" that everyone else does. :(
By the way I always eat and drink while visiting Opacity. This is my refuge, my place to unwide and relax.

Andy, you are right.!! I was at Fort Sill for Artillery School when I was in the Marines.

When we shut the power off to this hospital it all went down hill.Security was there for several years and the place was in good shape.The STATE Police used it for urban trainng for a while with tack force and dogs and stuff but after the floors started giving way they had stopped using it. The scappers moved in and cut the poles down,dumped the transformes(PCB"S ?) and took the copper.The vandails moved in and tore the plywood off the windows and doors and wrecked the place,burned the garage and theatre.Then there are the goust hunters(HA HA) who think someone there.Their has been some people caught there and arrested but over all its a hazard for anyone to go into.

wonder why whom took the roof off the building

Dangit....I realized I was still thinking of a previous picture. Sorry.

Maybe I watch too much NCIS. But I would think that morgues/autopsy
rooms would have been kept very clean and sterile. While the stains on the floor are curious I doubt that it is bodily fluids.
Or maybe I'm wrong and it's just remnats of a zombie.

OK I did a quick google search. Nothing on Johns-MANSVILLE.
But I did find a Johns-MANVILLE. Maybe just a typo. (Sorry Motts)
Started in 1858 making asbestos shingles. In 1901 H.W. Jonhs Manufacturing Co. merged with Manville Covering Co. (H.W. Johns-Manville Co.) and made a number of things including asbestos/cement, acoustical and magnesia products.

Johns-Mansville Co.? I wonder If thats the same company that makes house insulation now?

This is the same building from "Through the Woods" is'nt it??
Another great shot!!

This would make a great wallpaper too. Great shot Motts

A D Nilsen- This is exactly what these pictures remind me of.
Mother Earth reclaiming her land.

You are right Steve. Very Cool!!

I hate to see old buildings torn down. Unforunatly in this case it's too far gone to renovate. Renovation costs would by far outweigh the demolishion.

Damn I hate being red/green color blind. I see NO contrast at all.

They should turn whats left into a museum, like what theyre thinking of doing with the Carrie Furnace in Pittsburgh/Rankin, PA.

It's not a bolt, it's probably a heat exchanger or something similar. It's connected by two flanges, and the mechanisms in front are valves. Steamfitter work. As for the caution tape, it might be newer. Maybe someone was doing demo, trying to scrap the metal when steel prices were really high last year.... Or it could say water, steam coils would be heating a water line in a heat exchanger, but the tape looks newer.....

The corner of the door looks charred.

I find this pictue rather interesting. Its different from the typical Motts
lone wheelchair.

I have my doubts that it was fingernails. Those doors are pretty heavy looking.
Fingernails (I don't think) could make those marks.
The semi-circular shape is too consistant.
Side note: Since the marks are on the right side of the window and a majority of people are right handed it would seem that whoever did this was right handed

This set is amazing. Eventhough it's just a shell it's amazing.

Looking at this picture makes me wonder....................is the door holding up the wall?
