Boarding the third floor seems like theyre going a bit overboard (no pun intended)

Even boarding up the SECOND floor...How would you get to THAT without carrying a ladder all that way to the building??

Cool perspective, Motts!

Oh it's sooo good to see a new thread Motts, thank you! I love the deep blue of the sky here against the red brick and window boards.

They could use the money they spent to have those upper windows boarded up to preserve places like these!!!

I'm gonna go with the logical guess here: if someone DID get inside, they wanted the upper windows boarded to protect people from falling out... It sucks, but they would face a lawsuit if someone was injured while exploring here... Or maybe it was to keep stupid people like fedziepoo from flinging furniture out the windows?

I would guess that it was as much to keep the weather out while they decided what to do with it as to keep people out. They probably didn't want people breaking the windows either.

Yea, all the boarding up is very interesting..its just very common to see only the first floor boarded up. But I think everyone's stated some good reasons for it, furniture flingers, falling out, etc etc, still peculiar looking tho.

Like Baker's Pink for the quiet rooms, someone must have a title and mass production line for the color of painf for the boarded windows for all of these places.

I love the look those boarded up windows - and of course that they are painted the same color as the building!
gives this old place a really creepy feel to it.

iIthink it is a good thing that they did that it is keeping the building from at least some damage. The windows cannot be broken and rain can't get in and destroy the floor and surrording areas nor letting the vines in. The mager problem is no natural light for great pictures but Mr Motts will take care of that for us.

Looks like they at least had the decentcy to take out the clock guts. Reminds me when they closed the old train station near me.
