I worked at Pennhurst Center - I sat in a chair like that - I worked on the violent ward and there was a need for that type of chair to prevent injury to other clients. I also worked on a ward with profoundly handicapped people and believe me there was a need for soft furniture that would not tip over.

Thanks for the memories. I grew up in south Baltimore. We were poor, but could at least afford the 50 cent admission and gas to "The Enchanted Forest." At 47 I'm getting my boyfriend to bring me to Clarks farm asap. PS Little Toot and the Tea Cup Ride were my favorites. Thanks again.

it is a geri-chair .... I do not recall them reclining back. We used them for the elderly patients to keep them from assaulting the staff / patients or hurting themselves.

I grew up 5 minutes from here... remember as a kid going to watch band competions held on the front grounds. Am disappointed that this place has been left to to fall into such ruins... as it has such a history. Shame on you Millbrook for not preserving this beautiful place!
