Cut

Cut

The upper floors of the prison were cell blocks that generally looked like this - a row of small windows wrapped around the front and back of the building, with the cells clustered on the inside. A row of bars separating the cells from the windows seem to have been cut out.

I wonder why the bars were cut like that? Maybe for the whole renovation idea, just to make space?

I can just hear a creaking sound, then all of the rails swing shut.

It's a drag that those bars got cut. The great thing about these old jails and prisons are the bars shielding cells from common areas. I bet they cut them worried they would scare off potential buyers.

Mott, you must truly feel the power of these places you photograph, because you convey it so well in the shots you take.

The bars were cut and removed for use in the new Y.C.P. on Concord Rd.
