As Stated By The ZMM Narrator, Indeed Wear Cupped Stone Steps Lead to The Great Heavy Front Door.
…. Notice That The Steps Are Of Durable Granite And The Stone Used Other Places For Decorative Trim Is Merely Sandstone, On This Otherwise All Brick Building.

….[ “… "Why are we going inside?" .
. "Shh. Just don’t say anything now." .“
... “. I open the great heavy outside door and enter. .“ ]
…. “Inside are more stairs, worn and wooden. They creak underfoot and smell of a hundred years of sweeping and waxing. Halfway up I stop and listen. There’s no sound at all.
.... Chris whispers, "Why are we here?" .. I just shake my head. I hear a car go by outside.
.... Chris whispers, "I don’t like it here. It’s scary in here."
.... "Go outside then," I say. .. "You come too." .. "Later"
…”No, now." He looks at me and sees I’m staying. His look is so frightened I’m about to change my mind, but then suddenly his expression breaks and he turns and runs down the stairs and out the door before I can follow him.
….The big heavy door closes down below, and I’m all alone here now. “ (Continued Next Photo)

Ever Since ~2003, The Wrong Photo, For Illustrating ZMM Narrator’s =>
… “Inside There Are More Stairs, Worn And Wooden."
…… When my 2002 Photos of Montana Hall were being taken, I failed to realize the above ZMM Narrator’s description =>. “Inside there are more stairs, worn and wooden", referred to stairs specifically IMMEDIATELY inside the Front Door, and NOT to be confused with => The More Dramatic Three Flights of Double Set Of Stairs at each end of Montana Hall..
….By contrast the Front Door stairs go up just one half level to the First Floor
..****************..
….Consequently, in my first visits to Montana Hall => Yours Truly, did not enough realize these “Stairs Immediately Inside the Front Door” even existed (and thus remember) that I should get a photo of them.”
….It is only in just now revising the Captions Of The Montana Hall Photo Sequence (posted this Album ever since ~2003) => That I come to realize => “Oh No, this earlier Photo Sequence, showed only the Stairs at each END of Montana Hall, and this has the wrong interpretation of the above ZMM Passages.” .
AN **AHA** REALIZATION STORY =>
….This “Oh No Realization” => Depended On My Knowing There Existed => “A Stairs Immediately Inside The Front Door”!
….HERE IS THE STORY =>
…….It was on Aug 6, 2018, when Film Producer Dennis Davis & I were on Campus for his Video Filming for his “Pirsig’s Journey Documentary” . Mr. Davis had just finished, and we temporarily stored our equipment right beside these “Inside there are more stairs, worn and wooden", while we went further upstairs to find out more about where Sarah Vinke & Robert Pirsig had their Offices and Classrooms, in Montana Hall.
….Also, while In Montana Hall, I had wanted to give a courtesy visit to a MSC Lady Staff Member in the University Research Office. We of course asked her about Locations of Vinke & Pirsig Offices.
….Serendipity Strikes! => She gave us paper copies (with photos) of an email from Mr. Robert Pirsig himself giving the exact locations. (See Next Photos).
….Mission accomplished => We went back to the “Inside there are more stairs, worn and wooden", for our equipment, thus solidifying their existence into my memory ever since !!

….This very appropriate image helps the reader to visualize that just inside Montana Hall => “ there are more stairs, worn and wooden. “
