The nicest looking Olympia Club you'll ever see

Hey folks,
I've got a great story I've been sitting on for a while here and I'm happy to finally be able to share it.
A while back I stumbled across the photography of http://www.toddmclellan.com/, specifically, a series he's been working on called "Disassembly" which has received quite a bit of press over the past few months - http://boingboing.net/2011/02/19/todd-mclellans-disas.html.
To make a long story short, I'm very fortunate to have had my Olympia Club "disassembled" for the project and pleased to leak the first image to all of you fine folks on HB.

There's another photo coming, but for now, this is all I've got.
Let me know what you think!

Amazing image and a great story. Maybe Todd will shoot a " reassembly " series once you get this old girl back together. The spacial orientation is very interesting - not the exploded view arrangement i expected. Very cool thanks for sharing.

Do you know if prints will be available? Previous images of his disassemble series were sold via 20x200, and I'd be quite tempted to get a print of this one. Finally an image for the coffee corner in the kitchen that is a bit different from the usual Italian bar scenes or coffee advertisements.
