Pink Room

Mushroom pillars hold up the dreams of so many, the profits of so few.

The iconic outline of a prairie sentinel. Quintessential rural industrial architecture.

Ryan, as seen from the crane ladder.

Mismatched chairs in a patient room.

The control room floats above the top of the dock atop a spiral staircase.

A carefully kept journal of the ballast levels in the final years that the Ford sailed Lake Superior.

The aft lifeboat survived auction, although now all it holds is an emergency ladder to help men who’ve fallen overboard get on deck.

A fireproof room in the basement, perhaps for ammunition storage at one time.

A splash of pink across an otherwise boring sign caught my eye in the old elevator.
