Yep, no pictures though because it's pitch dark and I hate trying to manually focus the camera in those conditions. The pool and hot tub are still down there along with barber chairs.
There is VERY severe water damage and mold down there. It's the only part of the building that I recommend wearing a respirator in for people who go. I don't even think LIUNA has ventured down there too much at all. It's really bad.
I really wish I could have seen the Lister in operation. There's only about 3 pictures of the interior of the building that I've ever seen while it was in use. The terazzo flooring on the 2nd floor looked awesome. Same goes for the Century theatre as well. I've only seen 1 or 2 pictures of the interior while it was in use. They are very grainy, old photos from shortly after it opened in the 1920's. Kinda hard to make much out. I'm shocked that the Capitol and the Tivoli also never got too many pictures taken of the interior, especially since the Tivoli was around and in-use until somewhat recently. Thankfully the Tivoli's auditorium is still in relatively good shape, so it doesn't take too much imagination.
