Attic Stairs Deleted

I bought the house from an organization called FIRST (Forsyth Initiative for Residential Self-Help Treatment), a group that worked with individuals with chemical and alcohol dependencies. Before they decided to sell the house, they'd begun to finish off the attic in anticipation of housing more residents up there, and they'd built a staircase in the upstairs hallway to get up there. As of this morning, though, the first steps to restoring that grand open landing were taken when the partial stairs were removed. Here are before and after pictures of that landing.
