Yep, I've visited Weston State Hospital before it became open for tours; I saw a security guard patrolling inside the building, but other than that I didn't see anything weird (or anywhere else).

I think you need to speak with a doctor who specializes in developmental disabilities.

They could be steam pipes used to dispel any drafts, if this was a hydrotherapy room (it did have a shallow tub). http://www.opacity.us/...rce/hydrotherapy.jpg

The wall color might be from one of the movies filmed here.

They could be remnants of transom windows that were covered in renovation work. They could have also been simple mesh screens (for ventilation as well).

I believe they are vents for the heating system.

This room wasn't cold enough for it to ice over that day.

Hard to tell; many windows were covered in plastic that has been there as far back as I can remember.

Most of these places do not give tours due to the dangerous conditions of the buildings and the liability risks are very great.

Some of these old hospitals have museums that can be visited publicly or by appointment though:

Thanks for the historical information Bryan!

Ah, that sucks. Thanks for the update.

Whoops, thanks! :-)

Thank you for the correction!

Thank you for the memories; the buildings are still extant, but demolition isn't far away...

There's a sodium street light on the boulevard that goes on and off, which lights the front side of the building more than the full moon could.

I didn't move the chair, just made the lighting as it was pitch black inside.
