The entry to the first floor. Wonder what the corn on the doors are for? This is the main lobby of the first floor. Looking down the eastern hallway. Looking down the western hallway, this is where Thurston The Magician is entombed. Every window in the Abbey is stained glass. This is a small altar in the first floor lobby where funeral services were probably held. This bench in the lobby had what appeared to be a broken urn sitting on it. Another one of the beautiful stained glass windows in the Abbey. Some sort of table was at the western end of the building. Upon closer inspection, this looks like the table that they used to raise and lower the bodies. Thurston The Magician's tomb. The nasty restrooms just outside of the first floor entry.

Second Floor |
The entry way for the second floor. The lobby of the second floor. This one had some pretty cool furniture. Looking to the east on the second floor. The west hallway of the second floor. A creepy headless statue. Another headless statue was just down the hall. A closer view of the second floor's altar. Some weird looking electric candles. A pretty neat looking angel statue on top of a tomb. This awesome life-size statue was in one of the "cells". Some of the statues that did not survive. All the cells have an iron gate guarding their tombs. This vault had a bench for the living to sit on. And this one had both a bench and a chair. We wondered when these flowers were left in front of these tombs. Whatever had sat on this stool has been gone for quite some time now. The second floor had it's very own body table. It looks like it hasn't been used in a very long time. Back in the lobby, this is one of the fake fireplaces where heat from the furnace downstairs comes from. Some stained glass on the second floor had been broken by vandals. This is the bench at the end of the east hallway. This is the eastern spur hallway And here's the western spur hallway. A creepy view looking through the bars of a gate.
