The name of the hospital.

The entire facility was like a small town; this main building is 509,853 square feet and three stories tall.

I didn't get to hang out around abandoned buildings as a kid, but I don't think I'd smash windows for fun in my youth if I did.

No, I'm not quite sure what they were made out of...

Yes I use Photoshop to adjust the color and contrast of the photos.

Thank you; I leave that kind of information off this website in regards to legal issues, etc.

A water droplet on the lens.

A fire hose dragged through the building.

Totally empty.

I'm not sure where block A/2 was, but it's definitely a good possibility that I did shoot it.

Not too many in this place...

Thanks for the heads up, I updated the title :-)

Well, I usually don't know anything for sure about the locations I visit, a lot is assumption because I've never seen these places while in operation.

I deduced the room's function by it's location; it was near the recreation hall, theater, and what looked like an art workshop / classroom, and there were also flash cards laying around with an illustration of various objects with the name underneath undefined"fork", "tablecloth", etc). I've seen similar setups at other developmental centers such as Pennhurst as well.

Most of the rooms at this facility were white, and some seclusion rooms were a pale orange color... usually I see the real wild colors like Baker's Pink in older hospitals or ones that have not been renovated recently.

There are some interesting links and discussion about Baker's Pink in the comments under this photo - http://www.opacity.us/...ity.htm#comment_1710

Yes, it's the original beam; I believe all the major equipment related to the engine operation has not been replaced except for the boilers in the early 1900's.
