I would have loved to chance upon this crucifix. Like everyone else, I hope it was salvaged. Looking at the link of the stripped auditorium is so disturbing. Why....why do human beings destroy what is so beautiful and replace it with tacky architectural and cheap looking buildings?

Yes, it does look rather dangerous to walk about back there, Motts!

I doubt anyone could carry off with that thing. So there it lies.

And the graffiti artist drew in purple: "420 dude." Although I think they meant 4:20. I guess they did party in this place!

I betcha lots of non-Catholics went to enjoy the entertainment as well!

Just tune her up and she'll be good to go for a few more concerts! Oh, and some dusting as well. ;-)

Well, I'm a bit late but am sure this gallery will not disappoint!

Lovely photo for the last one. Perhaps the employees had lunch out here. Thank you for sharing the abandoned world of Northville State Hospital with us. It was quite enjoyable.

If I had to be in a place like this, I'd be bowling as much as possible.

This definitely looks like a school auditorium. But salvaging the place...the question is: would it be cost-effective?

That painting seems to say, "I'm watching you."

Well, at least the patients had opportunity for recreation like playing basketball. Nice diversion from a depressing existence.

Yes, Freespirit, something creepy about an empty, abandoned pool. But why exactly I have no idea.

How apropos - a foggy day at an abandoned psych hospital.

As long as the morgue didn't hold any skeletons!
