I had one like that about 15 years ago, Mike. It was in one of the buildings in the Virginia State Capitol Complex. The agency for which we were installing a system only occupied the ground floor, yet there were three other floors that hadn't been occupied in decades. We couldn't resist the temptation and went up there via the stairs (the elevator was way too creepy). What an amazing bunch of items that hadn't been touched in my own lifetime!
This building dates back to Colonial times, so it is very, very old. Even the old stuff in there wasn't as old as the building itself.
Even creepier was when we decided to go down into the basement level. It had been an active tax department office in the early 1970's, so the decor was somewhat 'modern' in comparison to the rest of the building. There were notes tacked on the walls, pens/pencils still on desks, mechanical calculators, even a 1971 calendar on the wall in one office. It was like stepping back in time, since this space hadn't been used for anything since it had been vacated in 1972.
What was most amazing was that the interrupters in the 1A2 equipment were still running away. Amazing, simply amazing.
