Hello BKW Ontario, how are you ?
The answer to your question is that this kind of furniture is made in a factory and in large numbers, the woodcutting was done by macines.
They were cheap, relative strong, thats why so many survive the time.
When you look on the Dutch site Marktplaats.nl and you type antieke bedden, then you can buy such a bed for 200 Euro's
But in modern standards they are tos small 180 by 130 cm and they are very noisy, cracking souns, and when you are a young married couple it is not very nice for the neighbours.
So , greetings from Leiden in Holland.

The style of the bed is Henri Deux , we have it at our home to.
It was a complete set of a bed 2 side cabinets, wich were meant fore
a pisspot , or in Dutch a nachtspiegel, and a large cabinet for hanging clothes in with 2 mirror doors.
The time is 1910 -1920, a complete set you can buy now for about 2500 Euro .
Greeting from Holland

Did anyone contact you after the book?

Me and my roomate went inside the other night inside we saw dried blood and heard whispers also saw shadows and we went into of the rooms and saw a doll house the entire room was dust covered except the doll house that was when we left and heard screaming as we left the building

I was just there on 2/27/16
I'm some what speechless. The destruction created by both man and nature is captivating!
The floors and ceilings present quite a hazard. The structural integrity of the former church is all but gone. The area it's located in presents a hazard of it's own.
Not for the faint of heart!!!

It seems that somebody have stolen the copper windings around the round centerpart in the middle, called the rotor, and the missing part is the stator, since copper is expensive , the must have buy themselves a good sixpac of beer or two.

Went there at 2-3 in the morning with a big group went in all buildings and explored all buildings had some creepy stuff happen but park in the neiboorhood and security and the cops aren't there that late been there at least 6 times in the last 2 weeks and haven't had any problems so good luck guys have fun be safe

The style of the iron balcony fences is Fin de Siecle or Jugenstil.
It is very nice too see,and a shame thet the building is neglected.

The style of the letters is Gothic, my mother has to learned that on school in Austria, difficult to read.

it really does seem like a waste. this place with the exception of the renovated nurses quarters still occupies nearly an entire block, and as a result if you park on reed between 4th and 5th, odds are you're going to get broken in to by some of the crackheads that lurk around the grounds.

for reference, i live across the street.

hey, I live in the neighborhood. only part of the building is apartments, i believe the old staff quarters. the rest of the block is still occupied by the hospital. it's got a for sale sign on it and there are various crackheads, maintenance types in and out. apparently there is some sort of rentacop to patrol the place but i've been here for years and i've seen plenty of crackheads (they love breaking in to cars on that block, the street is strewn with glass) and never 1 watchmen.

Thank you Mitch for your support.
I,ve seen these things working with a ancient steamengine in
Germany, .
But in modern powerplants they are the same today.
In every car that drives around is such a thing,
Apart from that, when you look to the middle of the upper three
windings you can see a black hole , that is a explosion due to a
short circuit, you can see the molten copper lying on the rotor, the
black partickles on the edge,
Forgive my English, i am from Holland, and i wish all of you a good
Christmas and a healthy 2011.

These are insulated copper windings, called a stator, and in the middle
this round thing is called the rotor, the rotor is attached on the turbine
and so making the electicity that we need.
It is a very fine example of craftmanship.

That Erich Wagner was not a fine doctor, he used to do medical experiments in the KZ Lager Buchenwald on Rumenian gypsys,
maybe he did that in the same building.
He injected them with poison, and strange fluids.
