I only saw this location a year and a half ago, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was caught off guard at how truly... bizarre it was. I'm from Dallas and had no expectations or any idea what to expect from this place.
That said, none of my photos came out for shit, lol. I took around 200 photos and published about zero of them.
I think there's some unique issues to photographing this place that I don't feel like speculating on because I'm tired and this would require critical thinking, etc., but it was definitely a formidable challenge to come up with photos that I was happy with. Despite my dissatisfaction with my photography that night, I had a great time here.

I have a few theories/reasons as to why this place is so hard to photograph.
1. There's no natural light (I see in thus thread that that isn't necessarily the case anymore) and we usually rely on photographing with the natural light "leaks". This place requires that you provide ALL of your own lighting.
2. The layout is strange. There's no real good way to explain the layout of this building, it's a square but it's painfully hard to navigate still. I know more than one person on more than one occasion that has struggled to find the room they wanted pics of or even to find the exit. This layout doesn't help draw the eye into anything either. No real good hallways with doorways you can see through.
3. There's not much in the way of "decay", the place just looks like your weird uncle died and left a bunch of shit. Strange. Dusty. Amusing stuff. But none of it is older than about 20 years or so and none of it looks decayed. It's just neat dusty junk.
I could name more but they'd be subtopics of those 3 main points I think. All of my opinions on this are based on what I saw years ago and why I had trouble photographing it myself.
This place also used to just be so overwhelmingly cool that you just forgot to take pics while you were checking shit out.

as a collector of antique furniture its sad to see those amazing cases and display cabinets completely obliterated, i got to see a lot of this place with astro a few years back and it was the most fun i've had downtown, go on youtube and watch the video of the old guy giving a tour of it and its crazy to see what 7 years will do to a place!
