Stonewalled

The Stonewall Building, located in downtown Birmingham, was built in 1925 and has been abandoned for about 30 years.

Recent efforts to convert the building into apartments stalled.

Taken with an Olympus OM-2n on Kodak Portra 400. Drugstore scans. Will be ordering a decent film scanner sometime soon.

The Banana Hotel

The Banana Hotel opened in 1929, and was a top notch luxury hotel. The '70s were a period of decline for the hotel. In 1981, the hotel became low income housing, and then in 1983 it was declared unfit for living, and closed for good. We went inside...

It was 105° the day we went, and I was totally miserable. As a result, I wasn't feeling creative, so my pictures are disappointing.

Flooded Boilers

The basement of The Banana was pretty gross. It had been flooded for years, and has been recently drained. The lowest parts are still flooded, as seen here.
