Stairwells

Transitional space. The stairs going up are more formal and lead to the church. Stairs down are more institutional and lead down to the bathrooms and basement. Sound of North Avenue present, and it's drafty.
Stairs up: 8 feet wide, 10 stairs, carpeted. Carved wooden railings and dark wooden wainscot panels. Wall of stained glass around double doors. At the top of the stairs is a formal wooden table and chair about 6 feet by 2 feet. Nice lamp on the desk. Doors leading into the church proper are glass paneled so you can see into the church.
One electrical outlet by the desk.
Stairs down: 4 feet wide, 11 stairs, wooden. Floor at the bottom is concrete. Large wooden pews line the walls at the bottom. Enough seating for 10 to 12. Feels isolated and despairing to me down there.
No electrical outlets that I saw. Overhead light that is kind of harsh.
Crap stored behind a portable photo screen.

Forgot my camera. No photos. Pardonnez-moi.
