Thank you, I also want to know about it.

17 years later, I wonder if this is still there, or long gone. (Hopefully gone)

The Wildwoods have been, and are still in 'change' to condos and apartments, as a lot of the 'do-wop' motels/hotels are going away.

Reno,

Yes, there are situations as you described, probably all over the country with 'aged' properties.

I come across some of what you described, 'closet' panels, an occasional bathroom panel, and butchered wiring.

Yes, the 'next size' up circuit breaker issue, is the same as the 'older days' of the 30 amp plug fuses!

And I agree that the 'space heater' issue does put 'strain' on the circuit wiring, splices and devices. However, appliance usage is not within the realm of the NEC, nor the Inspectors, or Licensed Electrical Contractors.

I had to pay $160 for the carpet permit

Ditto!!

Turkey Fryers be careful!!

Somehow I missed this along the years here. WOW, amazing pics of an amazing place!! Based on what I read herein, it may be all gone now. The comment from 2005 mentioned that the facility will be 'modernized' in a few years.

I wonder what they did with all the original equipment? 107 years old in '05, it would be a shame if none of it was saved.
