Part VI

Let's go up to the top floor

I see the sky!

No plaster or woodwork on this floor. The top level was never finished. So all the terracotta brick has been left exposed. Actually, much of it is now on the ground. It appears vandals have knocked down many of the interior walls, leaving many bricks dangerously suspended from the ceiling.

More of those trademark windows.

Skylights

Yeah, it looks like a nuclear bomb went off outside. That's what I get for focusing on the inside.

Other stairwell entry

And the reason for the big hole in the wall is? I have a feeling that the bricks people threw from the roof came from here.

This window sash is an accident waiting to happen.

Looking down between the railings.

I see Woodbridge estates!

Detail on cornice.

Another look

Long way down

Columns

Entablature detail

Window decoration.

Time to go to the roof!

Just one more look.

Electrical switch.

Finally, the roof.

Okay we're going back down now

Oh, that's right, I suppose you want to see the city from up here. You'll see that in the next installment.

Very nicely done, wolverine!

I see you've decided to give a more in depth tour than you (and we) first thought.

I look forward to seeing the next set!

Just wondering, does the owner have a website or email contact?

[Zissou]

I think this is my favorite part of the tour so far. I love the exterior shots.

I'd think if you wanted to get in touch with the owner, Matty Moroun, I'd try the contact section on his company's websites.
