Thanks Leah, Happy 2020, may You be well, + it is amazing, Your words so lovely - am glad You are here to enjoy the pictures.......
and am in Sweden......imagine?......always enjoying the pictures of this place......keep coming back.....
YES - and was wrong, about GooglEarth, as DID find the possibility to "look around" - which is uncanny, as this place IS GONE.
Will always think of it as "Verden"
May You always be well, Mr. M, is a daily wish.
Yeah - the criss&cross mesh on the window.....amazing also. Verden - this place is special. To create something like that.....
Now gone. So hoped it would be kept&saved.
Somewhere along the way Lynne is lost. Knowledgeable, clever & nice: Miss.
"Verden" - a special place = now gone.
For a while DID think it would be `saved´
Verden! Fell in love truly. Then the real name came. Now gone. All is so soft. Come here to relax, still......Beautifully built - it is obvious......

GoogleEarth gets 10 p. + Goldstars at "absolute silly stupid uselessness" as can no longer go around and look at this place - now demolished, i know.

I used to live very close to this asylum and would drive by often. It always fascinated me and I always slowed down to get a better look. It was already abandoned by that time and I always wondered what it looked like inside and what spirits remained. I haven't lived in that state in years but thought about this place from time to time. On a snowy night in NC tonight, It crossed my mind again and so glad I did, so that I can get a glimpse of the inside. So happy I came across this site. Happy New Year everyone.
YES! And suddenly undestood W H Y love ex. "Verden" so dearly - from the outside looks dark, formal, grey, harsh, strict, somber, square and ... and then Inside there is bright LIGHT + rounded, soft, but with some brilliant hues, shades & tints, friendly, full of great air and wide space, and with so many windows, with very good windowsills. This place! GONE!
Water water water everywhere - and YET; three windows in this small room. That IS good. It is gloomy light.
Wide open spaces - it is amazing how they built before....
Yes, Cronnur, did notice + faucets last, and I think they are beautiful. And until 2016 we still had one cute tiny washbasin left, in one small toilet, with a set-up like this, from 1937. We liked it, and were used to it...but my grandkids were NOT - and kept scalding themselves - not knowing how to mix the water well, hahahaha.
Plain strong strong white plates, no fuss - is IT. They last.
THREE WINDOW in this small room - they sure HAD really great ideas, back in the days. It is fantastic.
Fantastic windows - to have windows like this. Three together and that windowsill, imagine: - for three slim thriving tall but wellpruned potted plants (Schefflera actinophylla and Ficus bejamina) and even on a very dark gloomy rainy day, there would be L I G H T!
Amazing M O S S! Is it moss? That IS amazing, hahaha - a moss hall. Beautiful. These pictures.....I never get tired of Greystone Verden.....
