I was talking to my grandfather a few years ago, he used to live around here...(here being the town Pennhurst is in)..he said that back around the 1920's, pink was considered a male color and blue was considered a female color. That could explain why the "Men's" bathroom was painted pink.

it's a soap dispenser.

looks like a thermometer to me....

I thought it was called l33t. (leet) Don't ask why. I'm fourteen years old and I find it really annoying.

For some reason I find this picture very sad.

It looks like the chair has writing on it. Do you remember what it said Mr. Motts?

I wonder who threw this chair. Patient? Vandal? Probably the latter.

I would give almost anything to be able to look through some of these things. I don't mean in a disrespectful way but I am very curious to what patients in a phsyciatric hospital would write in a diary.

Face wash? Did you try it Mr. Motts? ;)

If this place is abandoned why are the utilities and electricity still working? Even a year's worth of electricity is expensive. Why doesn't the state just cut of electricity. It'd save a lot of money.

Who are the people? Are they friends of yours or security people you were dodging, or, dare I say it, ghosts? lol

Motts, you probably screwed up some idiots "science project". It looks fairly modern. Good thing it didn't catch fire while you were in it.

I would love to see some of the pics to Alexandra. You could contact me at tkrec@nuvox.net. That place is really beautiful in a way.

i envy you.. you get to take pictures of these amazing places

There is just so much life behind those walls, all of the secrets of what could of went on there.. All of the dark things with the people that had hazy minds.
