Well it is a pretty ominous structure. I can't imagine these buildings help cheer up the patients who live there and see them every day.

I'm not too sure what it was used for, there was nothing left that would indicate it's purpose.

I can only pray that happens to the firebugs over in New England here.

Post away Groobs! Thanks, that's what I was going for.

Mostly children, and some adults who's mentalities were that of a child. Click on the Pennhurst State School link on top of the photo for a rundown of the place.

There's some strange rooms in the place, nothing weird happened though.

No problem, good luck!

Ah so that's where the ballroom is... dammnit. Well now I know.

Thanks... nah I didn't mess with the colors or use a filter. It might be sunlight filtered through the vegetation on the windows.

Ha! Look what I just found on google...

I suppose it could be an autoclave... it's really deep though. You'd have to climb inside to get to anything in the back!

No way, that shot is 10x better than this one... good stuff Beastie.

I only get creeped out when there's someone else inside.

Ah, that's what they're called. I suppose they doubled as wheelchairs.

Everything reacts differently with prolonged moisture exposure... the fan is probably made out of cheap layers of cardboard and suffers the most stress. The wallpaper looks like the next to go.

From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no life lives forever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.
