A photo of a weird long, thin, orange coloured machine. Probably some sort of intercom. It has switches and a speaker and sign that says “speak here” with and arrow that points to three horizontal lines below. The machine is mounted onto a brick wall that is painted magnolia.

A photo looking up at a flight of stairs from below. They are concrete. The ceiling is concrete. The banister and railing are made from metal. Everything is old and abandoned and has a nice texture to it.

A picture of a red panel with two hooks on a concrete wall (possible it was for holding a fire extinguisher, but it holds nothing now). Above the panel is written No 9. It is all aged with a pleasing texture.
