I use to work in this Boiler Room I started a a helper and was moved to ass't Stationary Egnineer. This picture was of the #3 Boiler off to the left of this was an office which had all the controls for all of the boilers. The components all had gold plating back then. The had to get the office Air Conditioned inorder to keep the controls working properly. The was the only area that had air conditioning.

I'm a photographer, over 35 years of involvment in it. I live in the area and have spent many hours, working with models in here, matching their positions and poses to the character and personality of this building. It's an endless source of inspiration and creativity. Only once was I somewhat spooked in this building. Heard something like the sound of something gnawing on metal. Not loud, low, and very subtle. When I went to check out where the sound was coming from, there wasn't anything there. Kinda got to me for a second. But the model and i went back to work and didn't hear the sound again. Awesome place to shoot tho !!!!
