When did they Open Ward A?
When I was there it was for Daycare. No one lived on that Ward.

Sitting at the girls end?
They used to sleep in front of the door, both night staff.
They must have changed that when me and another person on Ward D went down to the girls room. I relate that as well.

i miss rocky point

Pretty scary being in a morgue with No windows in it! Kind of like it was inclosed.

Pretty creepy.
Yet the lighting in this picture is nice!

A long time ago.
I've been just about everywhere in that place.
Both times I was there Mr. Heathwood was in charge. Again, not sure of the correct spelling.
I related my time of near escape from Ward B once, and I even managed to get to the basement once.

The "clock" in the center should be for adjusting the output frequency of the alternators. Power line frequency isn't always at exactly 60 Hz at a particular instant, but it's adjusted to keep it at 60 Hz over long periods of time.

The square device below the frequency meter is most likely a paper chart recorder, to show the frequency of the alternators over a long time.

These were probably charged by those motor-generator sets in the last picture, "Bombs Away."

Yup, looks like exciter pickup brushes...the curved red bar on the left side that appears to be wrapped in something would probably be the field rheostat, for bringing the alternator up slowly.

Oh you guys think of all the negatives.
Maybe, the patients would get their excercise by hitting a designated wall.

Just kidding.

Oh, I thought thats what the patients pee'd in.

That'd be a bit hard to carry outta there un-noticed.

if i happen to journey into these building which one would i go in first? i live in south bend, or do you know of any other sweet abondoned building kinda like this one around town? let me know im real interested

Oh wait...Is that concrete around it?




Hard to tell.
