Imagine how much steam stuff is in some of these buildings... Steam related books in the library?

Wesley - amazing.

Around 1992, I was in the engineering spaces in the old Edison High School in Philadephia. There was a similar feel as I looked at the towering boilers, runs of steam headers, anthracite coal piles, etc.

Wes,

There might be, but the inner city has been pretty much exhausted of anything metallic in exchange for whatever scrappers purchase with their ill-gotten gain.
