This is in "old" Byberry. The original grouping of mansions built in the early 1900's. Although Byberry officially closed in 1990, these mansions have been deserted for decades. The only way in is through a hole in a wall through a boiler room in the steam tunnels. All of the other entrances were bricked over long ago.

I'm not sure about THIS particular building (there are over a dozen of them like this one). I DO know they were still using some of them until the mid 80's though.

Radical Ed, so you can get to these mansions via this hallway?

This hallway IS the mansions. They branch off both sides every 25 yards or so. You can get to this hallway via the catacombs from W-6, W-7, or W-3. Just make a left at the shopping cart, go up the stairs, and climb through the hole behind the boilers.

Yeah Tim, I've been in every one including six others that were knocked down in the 80's and 90's. I'd like to say I've been in every room too but I do believe I've missed a few.

I STILL wonder how that got there. The nearest supermarket is easily three miles away. One day it was just there.

i figured it out... it could have been a homeless persons cart and they just left in th catacombs, or someone else put it there...

Scariest thing? Probably having to take a crap after too much Taco Bell and being in the large auditorium, about a half-hour's walk through the buildings from home.
Needless to say, I made it, but it was frightful.
Oh, and one time I dropped a beer into a pile of ceiling-tile mush and it was rendered *undrinkable*.

That tops one of those wonky ghost stories any day. My sincere condolences on the loss of your beer.

It was a sad day, observing the demise of a piss-warm Coors. Thanks for the condolences. My loss was a severe downer.
