Down the Spiral Staircase


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.

Spiral


This is one of the curling staircases of The Abandoned.  At the top of these graceful stairs is the sky walk.

The lines of this building are lovely.  This staircase is only one example of the beauty still to be found in this unusual place.


NOTE: If you intend to visit The Abandoned, be sure to get permission from the owners first. If you do not have permission, you may be arrested and prosecuted for trespassing.
