Despite its bad shape from neglect, it's still got warmth to it..

I wonder if there was an urn atop the base between the two scrolls??? The bricks to the left are definitely in need of repointing. Very nice symmetricality

Guess the spider must have got her!

These seats are just like the ones that were in our old school auditorium . Of course it's long gone and replaced now!

it obviously a person!! he's standing behind dirty glass - why it looks distorted! we found letters from patients to their familys in that spot and suicide watch forms.... scarey shit.... who took these pictures? did you find the morgue? by the church?

I've been in there and its either a smoke alarm or a light fitting.

It is a refrigerator. For food. The two cooling units in the top are the same ones used on General Electric Monitor Top Refrigerators. Would like to know how they got them in there. I have two of them, and they are EXTREMELY heavy!

That's incredible!

Absolutely perfect shot!

'ffordd allan' means way out in welsh, that was the photo with no translation, been there before we went at midnight and didnt leave till about 2 am, heard some wierd screams, would defo go bac again tho..

I wouldnt open that one.

i saw this site only a week ago but on thursday i got to experience this view first hand. the excitement of knowing in only a short time we would be exploring this truly ONCE magnificent building.

The X's just look like tagging to me... they're reasonably stylized, not like hurried construction markings or such.

Looks a little like the house my best friend used to live in when we were teens - but I don't remember the side porch. Still, pretty close. They were nice houses in a nice setting.

So strange! I used to live there as a kid - in a doctors housing apartment building. We moved out in 1969. The first day of school the bus came to pick me up after having picked up all the other kids on the rout . The kids were screeming and carrying on about being taken to the nut house. After that, the bus driver picked me up first and dropped me off last.
The forest was a wonderful piece of wilderness in the middle of Long Island. Acres and acres of pine forest with thick undergrowth and little intrusion by man. I imagine it's the way central Long Island used to be when Indians roamed freely. I still have very fond memories of running on deer trails through the woods with my dog, riding my bike through the woods to get to civilization and the public Library, our neighbors hunting (and eating) rabbits with bow and arrow (and car - lol).
The building we lived in was a long, 3 story building set off all by itself from the rest of the hospital We had to drive to get to the hospital, or to visit friends in the stand alone doctors housing section. The stand alone doctors houses had very nice brick houses and I'm surprised if these are really abandoned instead of being rented out or sold to private people. Seems a waste. They sure looked and seemed solid. I remember trick or treating around there one year. Sure got a haul!
