Yeah in a very good way there is no other way id like to spend my free time =)

Is that actually a person standing there or is it the way the light is reflected?

Yeah this is quit the amazing picture

I worked here in the 1970's. While some of the psychiatric staff were brilliant and innovative, it was often difficult to tell the old-time line staff from the patients (by the keys! you identify who is who by the keys!). The place was indeed creepy- little happened in the "old section" even at that time, but there was a sheltered workshop housed in that ancient area. The wind blowing made the creepiest sounds, and the "tombs" were visible through little arched windows that rose above the baseboards on the first floor.
I have often thought this would be a stunning movie set, and that the Commonwealth missed the boat in not leasing it out- frequently.

My mother and I are looking at these pictures, she was a nursing student here in the '70s. She said that a lot of the plumbing was exposed in Kings Park, so she says that this was either heating or water.
