I actually liked the wooden furniture, it looks kind of nice and if it would be restored it would have a vintage Hogwarts kind of a vibe! I would not have come down on those stairs in that basement it looked creepy. An open fireplace there...well, basements get chilly and maybe someone wanted some cosy basement time? Lol.
You know, good for the homeless for having such places to stay, otherwise this kind of buildings would be such a waste. Imagine if all of them would be put to good use, it is a pity to have so much concrete and wood and space sit around and collect dust and cockroaches
