The first time I went here was over 2 years ago. I was not happy with my photos at all and decided to try and get in again. The old entrance was a walk in the park but the new one involves straddling a 3ft gap between 2 walls with an 18ft drop into the basement between them with the outer wall made of shitty crumbling bricks. Not fun or worth it really. I realized I probably didn't like my pictures mainly because this place is destroyed. 2 years ago it was in ok shape structurally but now there are many random holes in the concrete floor and lots of open shaftways. While walking down one stairwell I saw before me an entire stair section that had just fallen off. The bottom is all boarded up and nearly pitch black which prevents you from getting some neat shots of the ornate stairs. I mainly wanted to try and get roof shots but it was on and off rain all day and the roof was super slick. I was not able to get the best angle on the sign up top since I had to prop myself against a vent of some kind. At least I lived to tell the tale. A shame they could never fix it up. Looks like someone had come in and gutted every last thing and even took the old safe out.
