I actually haven't gotten over there, it doesn't look all too interesting compared to place I really want to get to see... perhaps it will be a "rainy day" trip :-)

No gargoyles, just cut designs.

It was great to see all the English hospitals, but I do enjoy the American ones more. To see equipment left behind brings my imagination closer to what these places were like when they were open, which I find fascinating, and it's always very interesting to discover antique hospital devices. I enjoy the interiors of the old American hospitals more as they seem much less renovated.

Ah I can't remember, I was turned so many ways inside... while shooting the place, I knew about where I was in relation to where I came in and what I've seen before, but the memory has faded a bit since, especially after seeing a bunch of these twisting asylums.

I named this 'Heaven and Hell' before I found the historic photo... the light coming from above and the dark hallway beyond were a contrast that seemed fitting for the title.

I believe it is stone, unlike the larger columns in the previous photo which seemed to be made of metal if I remember correctly.

Administration

I didn't give my website address as he didn't seem to know what websites really were, but I would have happily given it to him; we were there with his permission.

Yes but they were pretty empty and void of much interest.

Most likely.

Yes, an old abandoned crematorium that looks to date from the 1800's, very beautiful... it will be in an upcoming gallery (I have so much to get to!)

Two, the older morgue here http://www.opacity.us/image1163_morgue.htm and the newer stainless steel one here http://www.opacity.us/...4_morgue_freezer.htm

They were in different buildings.

I took some film classes in college and was quite awful at it, so I suppose one could say I've taught myself once I started focusing on it during my own time, and with these abandoned buildings as subjects that inspire me to improve myself.

Hmm, it would definitely be a county morgue. The one that was probably the largest was stripped of all the steel and equipment, so I couldn't really tell how big it was. The next largest one would be an English morgue, which had about 30 or so drawers.

The largest psychiatric hospital morgue I've seen so far would be the 12 drawer one at Pilgrim State - http://www.opacity.us/image1384_morgue.htm

I travel along the eastern seaboard often, I hope to visit Germany and Scotland on my next overseas trip to explore.
