Too Late for Rustoleum

Too Late for Rustoleum
----
The heavily rusted gate and lock at Lynnewood Hall, an abandoned 110-room neoclassical revival mansion in Elkins Park, (suburb of Philadelphia) Pennsylvania.
----
The huge building that once welcomed presidents and the wealthiest and most aristocratic of guests is now an elegant crumbling ruin.Lynnewood Hall is said to be the largest surviving Gilded Age mansion in the Philadelphia area. It is built from Indiana limestone and was famous for its large art gallery. The home's collection was on public display at Lynnewood Hall from 1915 to 1940 when the collection of more than 2,000 sculptures, paintings, decorative art, and porcelains were donated to the National Gallery of Art.
----
The home also had a ballroom, swimming pool, wine cellars and its own electrical power plant.

Nice old rusty capture! Sand blasting might save it! Too bad they are just letting it all fade away.

Fantastic textures and colours here Michelle. Shame about the mansion behind it. I guess the rusting chain and lock say it all.

So it is abandoned and just sitting there? It surely is costing the city $$. What a shame! But it makes for wonderful photo opportunity - great rust and great composition, Michelle!
