Cabana Redux (Leer Tower)

Posted by: Naaman 

 We returned to the Cabana to explore the basement, warehouse and some of the finer points of the rooms and roof. The Basement was pitch black, wet and breezy. The Warehouse was less breezy and wet, but about as dark. All things considered, it was a good mix of moisture, light and breeze...

1. Yes, those are floating toilet seats.
Floating Lids (You know I had to HDR them even in a pitch black basement)

2. There's two feet of water in the entire basement.

Cabana

The Cabana / Thomas Jefferson Hotel / Leer Tower. Opened to the public in 1929, it has been abandoned since 1982.

Twenty flights of stairs isn't so bad when you stop at every floor on the way up for anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes each. This place is amazing.
