Can't say I would mind pulling up to that house at the end of the day. My house is very small so I'm always dreaming of more room. Not for things, but just room to breathe. This one had plenty of breathing room. Really a shame how these things get to be run down like this. Lovely house.

This room seems big and wide. Not too tall, but.... can a room be 'stocky'? lol It just looks really thick and nice. If it could be lit up, I bet it would be super cozy at night. :)

Icewox: I'm not sure, but the stuff on the floor (the yellow and black stuff) looks like fiberglass insulation used inside duct work . I worked with it for years and this looks like the same stuff. I'm not sure how it would have gotten outside the duct, though, as it's usually glued and pinned to the inside of the duct before it's knocked together. Maybe metal scrap scavengers dismantled it? Scrap Sheet metal isn't (or didn't used to be) particularly worth anything, but I've been reading about lots and lots of people making off with all kinds of metal things anymore.

Some of those tiles look like someone painted them with motor oil. lol

I'd be scared to death to even think about going down there. I don't like heights, or being on ladders. So, this is a weird combination for me... negative height, perhaps? I'd still be on a ladder, but going the opposite direction...equally as scary to me. LOL!!! (The black water doesn't help anything, either. Terrified of water I can't see the bottom of (if I have to go in / near it) Well, I'm just a big baby, aren't I ? LOL!!! :)
Great series, as always!

It matches the house! These were some industrious folk, weren't they? ;)

It looks like it's nestled into a wood, too. I would love to live there. This picture is ideal. It looks small from this angle, but I know how deceptive buildings can be. They look smaller but once you get inside them they seem bigger. White walls make a room look bigger, too. I read this somewhere and painted a brown room white and it did SEEM bigger. If a white paint job could ACTUALLY make more space, that would be great! lol

I don't know how many times I've said this on this site, but ...."They just don't make them like this anymore!!!!"
Which is a shame. Nowadays, they just slap something up in a week. Sometimes, literally. lol

My, that is some pretty brick work. Almost looks like fabric!

The windows are lovely.

Once the roof gets breached, the whole building starts to undo.

This is really, really nice.

I like the curves.

That's a neat shape to the ceiling. I see brick was used for the ceilings quite a bit in this place. I guess it's safe (I don't know...lol) but I know I'd be scared of a brick falling loose and clunking me on the head. Surely that HAS to have happened at some point in mankind, right?

I guess they were 'sealed' in with plaster or something, too, which would make falling less likely, but still... ;)

I wonder if they never finished this room at all to begin with, or were remodeling it? Either way, before going totally grey, the pink or green might not be too bad....certainly not great but it would have a little life, you know?

My goodness that room looks painful narrow. But beautiful mix of manmade and nature. The lighting has to be good in there...the window looks to be as big as the room lol.

Where does the moss end and the paint begin? :)

Woops, I asked too soon...lol

Apparently there was a great banister heist at some time at this location. I've never seen anything like it. Motts, did you find ANY banisters anywhere?? lol

If I had to pick a color for a room in this place, of all I have seen this is probably the best...it's very relaxing to me, even though it's yellow. It could have something to do with the soft sunlight, too, but the color is pleasing enough in itself. The 'pepto' pink or the lizard green would get really irritating and old after a very short time, I would think. It seems like this yellow would be a color that would be used in private homes, not institutions or hospitals. I understand the color therapy thing, but the pinks and greens seem like something you could buy by the 5 gallon barrels at discount rate because they are pretty undesirable to use in such quantities...lol

How many times have I lamented on here they don't build things like this anymore?? Wow, this is neat. Looks pretty strong still, too. Nowadays, you can drive to the store and pass an empty lot on the way, and they'll have a building built on it by the time you're going home. Well, not LITERALLY that fast, but everything's so crapped together too fast for architecture like this.

Such a strange building. These stairs really un-nerve me without any kind of banister or railing. If you fell, you would probably go far.

Looks like a zipper..lol

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but I don't know that much about masonry.... will the crack cause structural weakness, or would it be cosmetic only? Or possibly both? I guess it doesn't really matter unless they are going to use the building for something else... nice building, though. :)

Radiant green against greys and browns,very nice.
