I was thinking what Jackie said , 70 's wall and 50's floor.

They ran out of shower hooks and used the meat hooks for the shower curtain to hang on.

Very old and very different. Would love to see the key that went with that.

The Hot Air Baloon mural is nice ,but all the tin was brought down in the ceiling. Like the tin ceilings. I could see a patient staring at the murals for hours that is stuck sitting there in the wheel chair.

I bet those wet clothes smelled horrible!!!

Thank you fo the inside shots of this prison. I am a native of this town and driving up to this incredible building gives you chills and you can just feel history brewing out of this place. I would love if York would restore this site as a historical sight like Eastern State. My husband got to go in there because he was a student of a school nearby in the 80"s and I was so jeoulous when he told me that because this building is so,so unique. This is a historical gem. The previous poster asked how tall this is and it is 3 or 4 stories high and sits on a little bit of a hill so it is high enough to tower over the houses in the area. This is right in town and is near an elementry school. Imagine looking at this building from an elementry school.
