Is that pipe in the right corner twisted open, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Calling the site-owner a fool is foolish in itself cc.
If this IS in fact a kitchen, show me the oven, genius.
Motts has seen an asylum or two in his travels. I'm sure the mistake-made is your own.

All I have to say to that is, OOOH YOU GOT TOOOOLD.
Do not insult thy Master Motts. He has only made one mistake, with the light fixture.
Eh eh, remember that Motts?

um, i'm waiting for something to jump out and eat me. this makes me think of "house on haunted hill"... the one with the girl who plays clear rivers on final destination and famke johansson (i think... i could SO have that name totally wrong...) but yeah... scares the crap outta me...

That is a HUGE exhaust fan. I'm fairly certain that most chemical experiments back in the day had a few very toxic results. I'd be a bit worried about the asbestos as well. That is some nasty nasty stuff.

My science Teacher has one of these. A bit more modern but very similar. Probably used for chemicals and such.

Wondering how many of the vandals, creeps, etc. that partied and ran through this place back in the day now have mesothelioma and other cancers from asbestos exposure? Ahh, the irony.
