It's kind of hard to imagine how this looked while the place was still in use...
Overcrowded, I'd say
Motts, was that a dumbwaiter or display case carved into the wall?
It is where a fire hose was connected and stored, each floor and arch way above and below were set up the same way.
Gorgeous, and I love the bright light coming from beyond the arch.
nice one, motts. great perspective.
In my online research of the Dixmont site, I somehow ran across a site for some artistic photographer who took several models into Reed Hall and the cafeteria building to do some nude modeling. I remember he had one photo of one of those empty firehose boxes in the alcove where some totally naked chick was curled up inside it. She must have been small built because there really isn't much room in one of those things.
Hey, Busted Trespasser, did you see the site Truckie found? It's http://www.dixmont.info Very interesting.
Yes I did, thank you. I was watching the videos they posted there and checking out some of the pic galleries. I really wish I had the chance to explore more of the property. This place really had to be something when it was in operable condition.
The model curled up in the firebox was 5'10" and VERY flexible!
You know her?
My first thought is that I LOVE THAT ARCH. Then I say, green is so soothing.
The link to www.dixmont.info no longer has anything...wish I had found this site a lot sooner. The pix on here are absolutely marvelous, and as previously said, just one more reason I loathe Walmart!
I updated the main location page, thanks!
