Interestingly, the floor tile varied throughout this small ward, often in aesthetic patterns.

I bet those floors were magnificent in their day. Still restorable but not for long unless they close those windows.

There's a third window open way down there -- I'll get that one. It just occurred to me that this building has radiators for heat, but it doesn't look like they had air conditioning. Bars on the windows, but no screens. Bet it was hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

Motts? Considering your obvious love of most of the buildings, almost as if they are your children, have you ever closed a window or two to protect a building?

BTW, the pattern on the floor is a popular quilting pattern called "grandmother's flower garden." I've made one and let me express. . . It was TOUGH! Hexagons suck sometimes. lol. says the sewing and quilting teacher.

I've closed up ways in if possible by shutting windows and doors, sure. I've never boarded anything up or placed my own locks on things, though.
