That makes sense. Their uses started to dwindle. Even before hand they weren't meant to be used often.

Something seems kinda off about this hall....hmmmm... The contrast between light and dark is neat though...

This building is truly elegant. Most old buildings are. It's a shame that most of today's architecture dose not even compare. If anything I'd rather stay in a century old kirkbride as a pos to some institutional modern day block.

On the comment of it looking like a creepy old school.... yeah it kinda looks like my old middle school. Except it was brick.... but still >>;;;;

DAMNIT! This shot is stunning! seriously, this is a beautiful shot.

Man something about this institution mesmerizes me like no other. This room gives me chills....but the good kind =w=

Awh man now that sounds like fun D: I'd love to play a game of laser tag in the old institution in my town. (I like lasers.)

Oh jeez.... it IS like PeeWee's Playhouse o___o; Is it gonna sing?

I'm curious to why padded rooms are so rare but referenced so much into pop culture? Maybe its just the humor/sinister aspects that they make good use in movies/TV shows. But they're very few and far between. o_0 Maybe perhaps they got dismantled before the institutions closed? Hmmmmmm......

....I should stop here before I go an a ramble.... <_>

I remember this building from an episode of Ghost Hunters a few years back. It apparently housed Charles Manson for a little while but I do not know how accurate that fact is.

It looks rather sinister.

For some reason this photo captivates me.

Before I read K's comment I figured it was used to keep Monkey's for medical experiments. :/

I AM IRON GLAND ROAaR! Sorry. I thought of the AiC song.

Man I wanna meat the artist in this establishment.
