Abandoned buildings; great photos!

Great shots there....

I hope they are restoring these buildings, they look beautiful..

You can tell that this once looked a beautiful architecture... :monkies:

Thanks for sharing, Ferry!
 
Wow...

The pics are so folorn looking...Sad and lonely..

The Surgeons residence look very much like the interior of both my grandparents houses, now deceased and sold..

Great pictures of days gone past.....Its a shame that each stste does not maintain them at all.... Beautiful buildings...:applause:
 
Fascinating pictures, imagine all the stories those buildings could tell if they could talk. Sad to see them falling apart like that.
 
Those pictures somehow make me sad. I think I would just wander around in those ruins and imagine what they were like before.

*Sigh*
I really wish things could talk. You'd surely hear some damn good stories among all the blabbering from the stuff around you.
 
An amazing find!

Thanks for sharing. Just proves that there can be beauty in decay. :)
 
Some amazing photography.

Goes to show you have the things of today can be gone or nearly gone tomorrow.. A few years.. but none the less..

Pictures like that are intriquing. I had attended conferences at some of the big resorts in the Catskills during the 70's (The Concord and The Pines). I found a site on the web with pictures of the way they look now and it was so surreal to see them in that condition. Grass groing in the lobby, moss on the walls, etc. etc.

if I will win in the lottery, I would probably buy one of these and restore it to former glory.. well, the asylum and other hospital like places I wouldn't touch with ten feet pole, but that last place was attractive.
 
frightening things can still be interesting. i just meant that things aren't always rainbows and butterflys.
sometimes they're rainy days and diahreah
 
I worked for an architect for about 40 years. I enjoyed it when I could renovate an old building. I surveyed the San Carlos Hotel in Pensacola for renovation but never saw it renovated. That was a really majestic old girl that really needed it. Seeing old buildings just rot away is really a crime. Many have details and construction that can never be duplicated now.
