...And desks. And couches, tables, radiators, recycling bins, lockers, mirrors, and all sorts of other bits of surplus furniture.

I went to tour a house for rent yesterday, and afterwards stopped to check out a nearby spot that I'd eyeballed on previous visits to the area. Having been unable to find any interior pictures or info online apart from when it was recently active, I wasn't sure if it would be at all viable to explore, but I thought I'd at least scout it and get some cool exteriors. The front parking lot is full of construction equipment, and there were plenty of (old) signs on the exterior doors warning of the alarm system inside, but it still gave off the sense that, yep, this would be worth my while. This was confirmed, and my worries about alarms soothed as I walked around the back side, and found a door slightly ajar. Thank you, o gods of urbex.

As I walked into the basement hallway, I could hear the faint hum of electricity. I hit the switch by my entrance, and all of the fluorescent lights flickered on down the length of the hall. That was my first "whoa" of the day. I've never explored a building with power before.

You'll probably be able to guess where some of the other "whoa's" came in.

1.) Hello, beautiful.


2.)


3.)


4.)


5.) "Whoa"


6.)


7.)


8.)


9.)


10.)


11.)


12.)


13.)


14.) Let There Be (fluorescent) Light


15.)


16.)


17.)


18.) Goodbye, for now.


I don't think I'll end up taking the house I originally made this trip to tour, but this beauty made it more than worthwhile. For various reasons, I thought that I would have to slow down with the exploration a little bit in 2018, but there's nothing like having such a cherry location fall into your lap to remind you that there's still so much out there to see. Thanks for looking, all!

Do you know what the place once was?

Yes, I do.

nice find!

Posted by Baldran Yes, I do.

Gorgeous location! Especially love the shots of the "cafeteria". Glad to see this place is relatively untouched from tagging/graffiti.

Not just relatively untouched. Completely and totally untouched. There isn't a single instance of vandalism in the entire place. Hence my reticence to describe it in terms that would make it identifiable.

cant wait to be able to find a place like this

I was unsure if you avoided photographing anything that had been vandalized. But to hear it's completely untouched, that's a fantastic find. Would love to see additional photos on your next visit. Hope it stays that way for years to come!

Wicked find man. The first 4 photos, as well as the very last one, are my favourites. You're shooting straight at the far wall in all of them and I think that, along with the off whites, make these 5 photos go really well together. It's a cool style.
