Howdy All,
I'm new to urban exploring in this part of the country - I moved to Atlanta this summer. Prior to living here I would poke around old grain silos in the Twin Cities.
Anyway, as a way of introducing myself and building bit of clout with you kind people, I thought I would put up pictures of my first explore here - an abandoned condo/hotel building.
From the outside, the site has a round tower and large, single story, area attached.
From the outset, I wasn't really sure what this place used to be. The remnants of the signs seemed to suggest a hotel or conference center.
Exploring the non-tower bit seemed to confirm my hotel theory. There was a few large, open spaces that seemed to have been ballrooms -
and dance floors -
...with some...dated decor -
There was even what seemed to be a small theater -
Moving in the direction of the tower portion, the hotel amenities gave way to offices that had more of a "leasing office" feel -
There was plenty of busted glass and damage that seemed more vandalism than decay or material stripping -
This would have been the main entrance at one point -
Off to the side of the main foyer was a bunch of little shops(?) and a book store and/or library -
The was also a random hallway with lots of junk mail -
Moving up into the tower itself, the structure became much more redundant, obviously. It was just a straight tower with apartments encircling a center of elevators and stairs.
The rooms had a bit of an interesting variety. Some were completely empty and others seemed almost lived in -
Lost of the rooms seemed like someone tore into the walls with a serious purpose. At first I thought it was an attempt at removing appliances but the destruction was in totally random parts of the units -
The top floors had a few rooms that seemed extra swanky. At one point, this place might have actually been kind of nice...for a place that seemed to be renting out converted hotel rooms -
And as usual...lost of clever graffiti throughout...
...and one music video(?) shot list?
And after 15 stories of climbing, there was a relatively unimpressive rooftop. I suppose I could have climbed the old billboard but I'm not THAT kind of explorer.
Anyway hope you guys enjoyed it. I have no idea if this is a popular site or not so apologies if this is the 20th time you guys are seeing pictures of this place. Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated!
