Tjcee It does look like a buzzer. Motts, you didn't ring it and see who came? It would have been hard for me not to at least push the buzzer and run.. LOL

	Tjcee Tile is pretty resilient. I dive and I dove on the wreck of the RMS Rhone in the British Virgin Islands. The boat went down in 1867 and the tile in the kitchen, black and white checkered was still just shining away at over 100 feet down.. pretty amazing site!

Tjcee Welcome back Motts! You have been missed. I must say this web site still auto-launches when I log on my computer every day. I diligently checked each morning to see if there was a new gallery. I was pleasantly surprised and excited this morning. I can't wait to view the new pictures. Thanks again! I hope all is well in your world and I'm glad you're going to continue to maintain the website. Many of us live vicariously through your camera lens.. Take care! TJ

	tjcee No wonder the first family ran out of money. They even did their granary in crazy, ornate style.. very beautiful, but very expensive I'm sure.

	tjcee Love the windows. It's a pity there was nothing more inside. Such beauty outside would lead you to believe, at one point, the inside must have been very nice as well.

	tjcee amazing!

	tjcee Very cool doors. Where were these doors? It seems they are more decorative than the other windowed doors so far. Most of the others had plain square windows. This must have been a main entrance or something. TJ

	tjcee A new twist on a Murphy Bed? ... LOL TJ

	tjcee Motts, did you go to the top? How sturdy was the tower? I would have been worried climbing up something that old. TJ

	tjcee I always love the multicolored walls as the paint peels away. What do we have? Green under Blue under Yellow? .. TJ

	tjcee I don't think you'll get very far through that exit .... ausgang = exit. Thanks google =) Is that boarded up? It looks cemented to me. TJ

	tjcee It looks like it might have been a day room or something for the patients. That window might have been to the nurses office?? Just a guess =) TJ

	tjcee Nice pics as usual. Did you happen to zoom in on any of these? I would love to see some closeups.. TJ

	Tjcee I just look at shots like these that Motts takes and just imagine all the hustle and bustle, people, and noise that must have been present there when the plant was operational. Some of these shots give me shivers.. lol TJ

	Tjcee That's so amazing that they just left that there for all these years! Thanks for the historical pics at the start of the gallery. I love the old and new pictures that give a perspective on what the place was like 100 years ago compared to now. Great stuff Motts! Thanks ... TJ

	Tjcee I'm guessing that's rust, Mama... from the chain hanging down. I remember those chains having a small rubber stopper on the bottom you would use to block the drain. I'm wondering what the brown thing on the shelf above the sink is? Looks like a book or an old folder. Remember the kind that had a flap you close and wind the string around a button of sorts to keep it closed?

	Tjcee Yeah =) .. I logged in as well today, happy to see a new gallery to peruse.. Thanks Motts!

	Tjcee Abandoned toys make me sad!

	Tjcee Yeah, chin strap for an old football helmet. I remember seeing patients in places like this wearing those to protect their heads.

	Tjcee that is disturbing! I cannot even imagine what it would be like to have to care for those who would have required a mask like that. I feel very sad for both the care giver and the patient.

	Tjcee I wonder why the end chair, here and in the previous shot of the theater, have crosses on them. I wonder if the theater doubled as a church??

	Tjcee wow.. look at all that mold on the ceiling.. just amazing....

	Tjcee I love the fact the it looks like the suitcase is smiling.. =)
