I often walk the grounds of The Abandoned with my sister Clytie. We grew up across the street from these amazing buildings and have both been appalled at the neglect and vandalism taking place in the absence of the owner. I have actually called news media and others to try to get some kind of attention for what is happening here. No one seems to care.
It is a wonderful place for some startling photography. This is the spiral staircase leading up to what used to be the offices of The Abandoned. I set the camera on the banister and clicked this picture. Something about it catches the eye.
WARNING: If you visit The Abandoned, be sure to get permission from the owner, or caretaker before you come, otherwise you risk getting arrested for trespassing.
