So back out exploring after classes today, and damn was it chilly. Windchill put it at a brisk 11F. Regardless, the city here is getting renovated big time. After they built the arena, they figured they needed parking, so a few old buildings have been slated for demolition. I took the back alley to find the tunnel open to access the one building. A little bit of research has led to this being an old Elks Lodge, built in 1904 (111 years ago).
1. Popping out into the opening.
2. Obligatory chair, since UER seems to like them.
3. This must have been a later addition.
4. If I had my light, I might have checked this out.
5. First room from the only open hole in the building.
6. A fire would have been nice today.
7. Peeling
8. The Front Door
9. Floor Two
10. The Sad Room
11. Please wash your hands before handling the equipment.
12. Floor Two (Again)
13. Still beautiful in her state.
14. Time of Death: 11:00
15. Lastly, this is taken from outside looking up through the busted out windows of the third floor. This is what initially attracted me to this building. The designs on the ceiling look fascinating, and I wanted to see them up close. Unfortunately, I thought I heard someone calling for me, so I booked it out of there after only getting to the second floor. I don't know when it will come down, but I would love to get back in there and finish shooting.
