Those 3 doors look like a Mama, Papa and baby door waiting in terror for what's coming down those stairs. Very cool shot!!

The two big doors are telling the little door “So you go up first while we watch the window”

Was there no railings in this place? Or did someone take them all. It doesn't look like there was any in place at one time but I can't imagine them not having something to grab on to.

Two big doors telling the little door "You go down first and we'll follow". :)

These stairs are far more decayed than the one two shots back.
Quite a contrast.

LOL I am here. Wow...second time I have been mentioned in a comment...*blush* stoooop now...you are making me turn all red. :)

It looks like "Baby Door" had a little too much to drink (wood finish maybe would be a door's poison?) and the other two are conspiring how to get out of there without it.

Those stairs with no handrail make me SOOO nervous. The steps look awful "shallow" too, as in they don't have much of a stepping surface to them. How strange. :)

I figured it out. So they boarded and bricked up all the doors so they could use the doors to board up the windows! Brilliant!

Well, huh. That theory by OfMiceAndBen kind of wrecks my theory of boarding up the zombies. More research required.

You first..

Mr. Motts, do you know if the stairwells were built with no rails like that, or if they have decayed/ been stolen?

Looks like they were busted out for scrap or salvage.

The missing stair rails must have been just rails floating in mid air. I cannot see any evidence of pilasters to hold the rails. The stairs do seem rather narrow and shallow. Remember; people were smaller in those days. My kitchen counters are only 30 inches off the floor. I have to stoop to wash dishes. I am the dishwasher. Yes, I have an old crumbly house.
