Wall Street

Mary's Fireproof Hotel

 

Construction of the "fire proof" hotel began in 1922 by the House of David colony. The building is empty, abandoned, and for sale.

From this picture the appearance looks like a dull gray. Up close the surface sparkles in the sun. The special bricks used in the walls were cast of "Hematite," a special form of concrete made of 17 different minerals.
