BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, USA: Sleeping bags scatter one room where squatters used to live. HAUNTING images showing the decrepit remains of a once luxury three-hundred-and-fifty room hotel that hosted celebrity icons including legendary singer Ray Charles and President Herbert Hoover have been captured. The series of shots show long decaying corridors that show how both the wallpaper and ceilings have started to peel. Other images show an old sunken bed lying below a collapsed roof and a sideboard populated with empty brandy and whisky bottles that have seen happier days. Also in the collection, the door to the hotel’s once prestigious executive suite where the President of the US would once stayed remains closed and the once bustling kitchen is an empty shell where mould has taken over the walls. Another room has sleeping bags scattered over the bed and floor which have been left behind by squatters. One image shows the hotel’s rooftop zeppelin mooring mast which is the last of its kind in the world. The eerie shots were taken by American photographer Jeff Hagerman (35) whilst visiting The Thomas Jefferson hotel in Birmingham, Alabama. Jeff Hagerman /
