Beautiful photos, and really insightful essays, which were able to help me look at these buildings and their history in a more positive way.

What a beautiful coffee table book. I've been getting into urban decay and this book is a good illustration of that type of photography. Excellent essay to open the book by Oliver Sacks (which if you haven't read any of his books, they're excellent too!).

Haunting and depressing. Odd that so many of the buildings look just like my high school alma mater, which was built in 1891. Guess that was the golden age of nuthouse institutional gothic brick architecture.
