Walking through the rooms of the ground floor, it is hard to imagine what the place must have looked like when it was a going concern. I do know though, that we are now in the dining room, which was was this fire was located.

Funnily enough, in this area, there do appear to be some original stoneware furnishings. This looks like an old trough used for flowers. There were several of these, and I can only assume that they proved too heavy to pilfer.

The hotel is quite a big place, so I don't intend photographing every room. We will do a virtual tour in due course, so look out for that. I want to publish this blog today though, on Halloween. So I am concentrating on regular shots for now.

There is of course another reason for these tags. Perhaps they are there for our protection?

Satanic Fresco

According to legend, inside the hotel there was a fresco depicting the dance of hell and that, whoever saw it would be doomed for the rest of his life.

Ok, so we have seen the ground floor. Dare we go up? Of course we do. The interior still looks pretty solid, and the graffiti indicates that lots of people have been here before.

As always though, if you decide to go up, you are responsible for your own actions. You alone. If you can't handle that level of responsibility, then don't go up.
