Plaster Sinks

Plaster Sinks

These sinks were filled with plaster, they might've shut the tap water off before the plant closed.

They left the soap...
Why would they fill sinks with....plaster?
Yea, good question Max
The only reason I can think of is to keep sewer gas from backing into the building, it's up to the overflows, odd way of doing it though.
OOOOOOH! SHAVING CREAM.
this place freaks me out. something is going on here..
why is there still soap.. ?? too many un answered questions.
all the websites about it.. really dont say much about what happened.
What the hell? Who would do such a thing?
Star... what do you want to know?
Isn't plaster water soluable?
So who cares if there's plaster in the sinks, anyway? The old wrecking ball is probably waiting outside.
It's just hilarious that they would go to the trouble of plastering the sinks............and leave the soap.
what the hell is that picture of? looks like bob ross
I'm guessing hear but I think they must have filled all of the sinks urinals and toilets with plaster because after a long time of not being in use all of the U-bends would have dried out and because of the only thing that keeps the natural gases from the sewer from backing up undefinedVERY DANGEROUSE!) is the water in the U-bend witch must be substituted for something more permanent undefinedplaster!).

Sorry to kill the romance of it but it did seem strange to me at first also!

Not quite as weird as it seams at first! LOL!

I think I'm the only one who can't see the soap in this picture...
In between the faucets on the left sink.
The man in the picture appears to have white eyes. Creepy.
it could have also been some prank since there are a lot of ppl who go there
Ok...I'm NOT seeing any "man with white eyes"...

Anyone wanna help me out here!? Or at least pass me a hit! LOL
Seperate 'spigots' too...one each for hot and cold water...

Good use of tax dollars!
hey they left one of the lights on the sink there
All old (maybe pre-WWII?) fixtures had separate hot and cold faucets. I guess mixer faucets (not sure if that's the correct plumbing term) are a relatively modern invention. My grandma's bathroom had a sink with faucets like this and still does, as far as I know.
Looks like a picture of Lionel Ritchie... for the All Night Long LP album cover.
Well said again DME....some of my friends apartments still have old sinks with separates for hot & cold. Nothing unusual there! :)
it looks like a pic of robert duvall as mccall in lonesome dove
Is that a clients photo on the sink?
thats strange the way the mirror sits over the sinks ... weird like its not on the wall entirely you know what im saying ?
Nah, I think it's Bob Ross too.
Plaster molds of a sinks basin...genius
