This is the former air compressor house–one of them, at least–which turned steam power into air power to drive machinery across the production line.

Rocket propellant and coolant were stored underground adjacent to the missile silo. This is the hallway that connects the missile area to the propellant area. Walking in this area was nice because the floor was dry.

Someone had helped themselves to one of the safety posters before my visit.

The second floor of one of the houses is done in bright blue. This building has since been severely vandalized.

The stone chapel sits beside the main house and received a particularly heavy dose of gothic architectural touches.

Heavy wood doors for keeping people in.

The substation has definite structural issues. Pictured is the sidewalk that connected the plant to the company housing.

It’s a straight view from the projection booth to the stage, but hell of a walk. At a fast pace, I think it would take 10 minutes to walk from this spot to the chair. Behind the curtains is a big white screen, so the theatre could be used for either stagework or moving pictures. The two projectors are set up for 3D movies right now–hence the little switch below the window–a Polaroid 3D synchronizer. Cool, huh?

The depot of Ringling is a very lonely looking building and there are many holes in its roof. There are no signs on it whatsoever.
