Stripped

Stripped

Piles of marble lie alongside the walls; some floors were completely strewn with the heavy slabs.

Why does this remind me of a huge horse barn?

they didnt scavange the marble because there arent places that buy it on every corner. It is much easier to scrap the wire and sell that to the scrap yards, The kick in the teeth is they dont get that much for it.

Is it a common thing for the tiles and marble to lose their adhesion to the mortar that held them up for so long? Does the weather there contribute to the overall decay? Wonderful skill in photography by the way.

Wow Motts, looking at this picture of the office hallway remines me of the office hallways of the Buffalo Terminal. I'm gonna get if the same guys who designed this place designed the Buffalo Terminal.

Funny... the architect of BCT, Alfred T. Fellheimer (of Fellheimer & Wagner) also worked for Reed & Stem, who was one of the two architectural firms for MCS. Hard to say if he was involved with MCS, but it does not show up as one of his projects at Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.or...lheimer_&_Wagner

I love these long corridor shots...such a sense of lonliness about them.

It'd be so awesome to turn all these broken bits of stone into a big mosaic or something... keep the memory of this place going in such a way...
