Knowing that these pictures belong to West, I'd love to be able to use them on my interactive map. Alas you have something that blocks the copying of your pictures, I respect that though.

Ok, yeah this is definitely West, it lines up almost exactly with a picture that I know is in West.
Fyi, I have put countless hours into researching this location, this is my specialty when it comes to my research into mental institutions.

I am fairly positive this building is either West or Waverley Hall.
If it is West it is a low functioning dorm building, basically just used to warehouse the harder to control patients.
If it is Waverley Hall it was the first administration building, turned to staff housing and low functioning housing.
Both were abandoned in the 1970s. West was built in 1889, with Waverly built in 1891. West is the oldest on the property not including buildings that preceded the school.

You should come back to this place before it's gone. There's so much more worth taking pictures of.

No, I just shoot what I see, although I might kick a soda bottle or some other trash out of the way that really stands out.

Mott, you do not arrange any of these "props" do you? My impression is that you photograph everything just as you find it. Am I correct??
