Man! Even when this place was open, that entrance must have brought to mind quite the ominous impression of a huge gaping maw about to swallow people whole.... :-0. Strange how "industrial" and plain the surrounding gray stone is compared to the bricks. Odd.

That vegetation has really grown over.

I never cease to marvel at skilled brick
laying,which seemed to be popular
in late 19th century/early 20th.

I remember as a child reading one of our
presidents had a hobby of bricklaying,and
I said to my brothers "What!!!!?"
One brother(hey!,Brother Island!)explained
to me it wasn't easy.
I have since come to appreciate it.

The Frankford Arsenal in Phila.is a site
partially in disrepair, partially in use,and
loaded with tones of skilled brickwork.

Man you have some awesome talent! You capture the beauty of the place so wonderfully! I just love the design. It would be so nice if they would still build buildings like this these days.
