The Venerable Brighton Speedway Buildings

It's time for fixing...

by Fran Gardino


These 360 degree photos were taken inside the Speedway Buildings in late 2014.  I tried to keep the renditions of the images as true to the actual place.  The insides of the buildings are in dire condition and, no doubt, need some tender loving care.

(hint: you can see images at 3X magnification if you right click on an image and show it in a new window)

The wallpaper and paneling inside makes some of the rooms like they could be images of my childhood home...

I didn't know that there was a four cell jailhouse there as well?  They remind me of the Van Gogh painting of his hospital room with eerie yellow light.

The conditions outside are a bit better...

Now that you've seen them, how about imagining the images printed 30 feet long and installed in one of my mini-cyclorama tents?  Ah, the glory of it all!
