Absolutely beautiful...
Wowza! Great angle! Do people ever get to come in and bid on beautiful stuff like the banisters and fireplace before they tear the place down?
This building is supposed to be converted into a hotel or something similar.
W O W ! ! ! ! ITL BE A FAB HOTEL!
I realize that its probably plaster or paper or somesuch, but... the lighter materals on the floor, scattered like they are evenly against the darker, almost give the impression of light reflecting off water.
I want to stay in that hotel !!! What a great shot!
I agree with Talon Godchild. It's a very neat effect, to be sure. Very cool that it happened so organically.
My folks are good friends with an antique dealer. While we never had access to some of the buildings in Detroit, because of the age and decay inside them. Turn of the century homes that were slated for demolition, were often opened by the original owners for Collectors and Antique dealers to go in and obtain what they could,
The owners would offer no help, so the removal of some structures within a home often required careful planning.
One would not want to remove the solid oak and leaded glass french doors and archway from a weight bearing wall first.
One house we worked in we removed a clawfoot tub, a cast iron kitchen sink, with hand pump.
We had also removed stained glass windows.
So yes obtaining hand crafted and antique items can be down, howver, it has to be done almost immediately or the decay and vandalism results in both decreased value and irrepairable damage, so that it wouldn't be worth removing.
Ahhh...There's the chair!
Thats a great shot!!
This reminds me of a hotel in Llandudno which had a staircase that seemed to be almost bottomless.
The repeating curves AND the lone chair. The best of everything!
That as a Hotel, would be haunted, for sure!
amazing... reminds me of my granomether's victorian-era house... absolutely beautiful
I agree Dawn! All the spirits that must roam in this place, good luck with the hotel idea! I'd stay there just to investigate though LOL
