wow Im only fourth!

Looks just like the hospital Covenant Healthcare on Cooper Ave. in Saginaw, MI.

This was really a unique building!

Oh wow, I love the architecture of this place, as a fan of srt deco and the old modernism design of this era, this building is spectacular. I have been wanting to go to this place. Im so glad you did Motts!

Nice Pics, i have seen this before in this webpage www.abandoned-places.com but other different pics

Wow, that looks really modern in the 1937 picture. Kind of sad what seventy years does to such a place.

Remember, LI Irish, that it takes a mountain of a man to take such a big picture - Mt. Motts. ;-)

Sorta like the steamships of yesteryear. Plowing forward to the European shores for all the continental Americans of the 30"s.

Wow, sometimes these pics dont really hit you until you see what they used to look like. It reminds me of the Great Barr Colony one...ya know with that awesome staircase, i had such trouble visualizing it until i saw the original pics. Same here.

Hi again Motts: Great photos as always. I've seen this place on other web sites too. I'm not too crazy about the solarium area. For some reason to me it seems out of place or doesn't belong there. Just strange to me. Of course the 'before' picture is much better than the after (always right) . Also: Just a question re: the comments section-why is the most recent comments on the bottom istead of at the top? Just wondering thats all. I do love your web site. Its great keep the photos coming ok.

Thanks, people usually read from top to bottom on both web sites and physical literature, and the progression of newer posts below makes it easier to read in case a newer comment refers to something previously mentioned - otherwise you'd need to skip down to the reference and then go back up.

This pic makes me think of teeth - giant dinosaur ones!

it looks kool, but a very scary place too..

Motts I know you may not look at these comments much, but if you do. There's someone else with a site similar to yours who managed to photograph this building before renovations started. It seems it's only been in the last 9 years or so that graffiti has happened. I won't mention the name of the site but it's quite an obvious one, just google abandoned places. If you wanted to see the difference, or for anyone really. It's neat to see your photos and then his.

I herd about this building.It is very large and looking scary.

Creepy looking building!

sadly enough, this one is being demolished/reconverted too.

This is one unique building, the squareness of the main building & the round curves of the solarium make it one interesting design.

I'd love to see this as a resort . When i was there last ,it was
imaculate , and beautiful at every turn .. grand place..
