I believe these have been replaced with LED speaker/strobes.
Fire Alarms at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels:
EST2 Voice Evac System, place opened in 2002.
It does slow whoop according to the evacuation plan I found at the entrance by a setup similar to what is shown in the photo. There are remote strobes in the church as well as some integrity speaker strobes mounted on the walls and ceilings. The mausoleum that’s underground has ceiling integrity’s, along with the hallway by the Galero Grill.
Wilderness Resort
Wisconsin Dells, WI
Very large resort. %100 percent EST. I A EST3. Genesis Horns in the guest rooms, and Genesis Horn/Stobes in the Hallways. Integrity’s in the pool areas. There are 3 pools at this resort. Most of it was built in 2002. 270spos for the pulls.
From Wikipedia;
In 1995, the Wilderness Hotel and Golf Resort opened for business along U.S. Highway 12(Wisconsin Dells Parkway) with a 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) water park named Fort Wilderness. In 1999, the hotel added its second indoor waterpark, Klondike Kavern, and an additional sixty guest rooms.
In 2002, the resort opened the Wild West region of the hotel which has 162 guest rooms. It also includes Dodge ‘Em City, a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) indoor play park featuring Timberland Playhouse and Lake Wilderness outdoor waterpark. In 2003, the Wild West Waterpark opened for business
More pictures to come
More Pictures:
Also interesting “Area of Rescue Assistance” signs. Some of them look custom built from exit signs, like in the picture that looks like a Lithonia Lighting exit sign.
This hotel is so big, I walked 2.5 miles walking through the halls!
Also I noticed some of the integrity’s had Cerberus Pyrotronics labels on them. Probably the original system.

Grand Traverse Mall - Traverse City, MI

Some sort of EST system. Horn strobes are Edwards 892/895/896s and EHSs. Simplex T-Bars and an Edwards 270-SPO. Smoke detectors are Edwards.

Addressable Fire-Lite system made up of SpectrAlert Advances (ceiling, white), a lone ADT BG-12LX, and some monitor modules.
Rest of the mall
Large 90s addressable Simplex system that is presumed to be a 4100 Classic. It consists of 4903-9101 strobe plates with 2901-9840s mounted on them, TrueAlerts in new stores, and TrueAlarms and some older Simplex detectors. I found a heat as well.

Interesting back box 
This is a mix of all the buildings on the college campus. A lot of the systems have been updated and modernized after renovations. It’s an interesting mix of vintage in modern devices.

The annuciator right? If so it’s so funky! It’s even crooked

That one horn/strobe is mounted really high!
Wonder if the EHSes are replacements for some of the original 890-series NAs.
Those are actually also Edwards believe it or not: model numbers seem to vary when it comes to ones with that design but the ones I know of are the 6250B, the 6250C, & the 6264B (I also own a model that consists of a “P-847570-1044” head & a “P-847674-0123” base (yes those are the actual model numbers from what I can tell).
As SlyFox said, interesting way of mounting that annunciator.
The fact that the one TrueAlert isn’t mounted in line with the pull station below it really irks me.
I do believe that’s the very first system I’ve seen with CO detection capability! (& System Sensor’s CO detectors for that matter)
I know! All but one of the 890-Series were. The EHSs were much lower.
That could be. The EHSs (only 2 that I could see) were in areas that could’ve had em.
Huh. That’s interesting!
I just noticed that lol. I now hate that install lol
Yes, & from what I’ve seen the little flower petal-shaped openings on the detector in the last photo mean that it has CO detection capability! (which is also where the CO sensor itself is as well)
Interesting. I’ve never seen a heat detector on a CO detector base.
Target Store #2010
Panel: Bosch Radionics of some sort
NAs: System sensor SpectrAlert Classic ceiling mount in most of the store, mixture of remote strobes and horn strobes. there are also wall mount remote strobes in the bathrooms. all the devices are white.
There are duct detector key switches around the store, some being the older system sensor variant, and some being the newer magnet test variant.
I’m a little confused why they used a co detector base there. But in the dorms they used a separate co detector.

This past weekend, I spent Halloween at the Furpocalypse convention at the Hilton Stamford Hotel and Executive Meeting Center in Stamford, CT. They have a pretty neat semi-addressable Simplex voice-evacuation system with a mix of devices from the 1980s to the present. I didn’t see the panel or any annunciators, but given the hotel was built in 1984 and had a few renovations since then, it probably started out as a Simplex 2120, then a 4100+, and now a 4100ES (the hotel’s most recent renovation was in 2017).
The alarm signals are mostly a mix of 2902 LifeAlarm speaker/visuals and TrueAlert speaker/strobes. With the latter, I recall they have the multi-candela versions in a renovated portion of the second-floor conference level of the hotel, and fixed-candela versions elsewhere (mostly replacing 2902s that had failed). In a restaurant/bar on the first floor, there are vertical 4903 speaker/strobes, also replacing 2902s. The hotel rooms each have a 2902-9734 LifeAlarm ceiling-mount speaker, and the ADA rooms also each have a vertical 4904 remote strobe.
The smoke detectors are a mix of Simplex 2098-9508 ionization “wiffle-ball” heads on 2098-9528 bases and newer TrueAlarm detectors (probably photoelectric). With the latter, they have addressable ones in the aforementioned renovated conference wing and at the elevators, and conventional ones everywhere else. The hotel rooms I saw have old Kidde/Lifesaver 1275 smoke detectors.
The pull stations are mainly Simplex single-action 4251-20s. But the main lobby has a few single-action 2099-9754 pulls, and the renovated conference wing has addressable single-action 4099-9001 pulls.
Next to the exit stairwells on the second floor up is an unusual setup where there’s a Simplex firefighters’ phone, and they put a 2902 speaker/visual UNDER the pull station close to the floor!
An amusing photo of me as my private toon detective fursona investigating on why they were installed that way at said exit stairwells.
