Fantastic shot. Was this sunlight through windows or lighting that still worked by some weird miracle?

Lights On

Wonderful site and incredible photography.
Fleurescent lamps tend to last years. I had a house for five years and the kitchen lights never failed while I was there. I now live in a loft in what used to be a factory, which was refurbished in 1995 or so. The original 24 hour lamps are just now starting to burn out according to the maintenance guys. I've always wondered if any of those fixtures or other goodies in those abandoned buildings (like fans) are rescued and put back into use..

Rotting Bathroom

Yep, soap dispenser., That's one of the old kind like we had when I was in school. Every now and then I still find one in use in older buildings.

Ventilation

Techie

That's definitely a blower, and it appears to have a heat/cool exchanger below, so it looks like some sort of a/c unit.
