Exploring Abandoned Historical Library

Ойын-сауық

In Cleveland Ohio there is an abandoned historic library that was built in 1920.
At the time of its construction, the initial cost of the building was 69,550 dollars.
This library was constructed by architect firm Whitfield & king.
A cleveland artist by the name Ora Coltman supervised the construction of this branch from Whitfield's design.
He donated his paintings to this library, one of which you can see in one of the historic pictures.
This library was closed in 1990 and has sat abandoned ever since.
This building is in great condition to be 101 years old. I'm sure this building will be repurposed in the future.

    At -- 13 : 35 -- Maybe a homeless person put them there and forgot about them. When you looked down the hallway it seemed like a dark figure was there. There are dark shaddow ghosts. I saw some come up out of the water once, but they were nice ghosts. They were pointing to the direction where my apt was down the street. Since the storm that had suddenly come up was shaking the dock I was on because of the waves getting so high I left the park and got back to my apt as quick as possible. If the power goes out in the building the doors don't open. I didn't even think to take the stairs, just getting into my apt and turned the light on, the building lost power. Those ghosts did me a faver. I'd have tried to stay another 10 mins. or so, taking kool pics of the storm if they haddnt't popped up out of now where like that.

    Some years ago I was tagging a building wall adjacent to the rail road tracks it was summer and nighttime and all I was wearing were sneakers so I somehow managed to stop on a rusty nail it went clean thru my foot very warm feeling no blood and no pain . No pain THEN. So I tried to pay it off didn’t have health insurance and would have had to lie about where I was . Anyways I slept over at my friend Robs house that night and a thunderstorm rolled in late or early in the wee hours and my foot started to throb and ache and hurt so bad I couldn’t sleep next day I had to get a tetanus shot lesson learned I don’t see those places anymore but if I do I’m wearing indescribable steel toe work boots you have to they just give you steadier more confident footing and stride .
