The tapestry brickwork is amazing. There really aren't the artisans out there anymore that can do this.

Shame that all that beauty and practicality have to go to waste. Was it plaster over brick?

When I first started my job 15 years ago, they used glass jars. Now only disposable ones.

It was revolutionary in the treatement of people who were restrained for whatever reason, to keep turning them to prevent bed sores. They used them in acute care hospitals for people with spinal injuries...fastening them to the bed frame and turning them periodically to prevent skin shears and bed sores by redistributing pressure.

leg orthotics would be my guess...

This may have been in the early stages of realization that some developmentally disabled people were actually "trainable". My cousin had brain damage from a high fever and the doctor told my Aunt that she could just go home and leave her son there and the doctor would put him away for her...she didn't need to worry herself over him. She did take him home and later in life after my aunt died, he was capable of living in a group home because she chose to keep him home and teach him whatever he could learn.

This must have been before there was such a seperation of church and state...

Sometimes some of the racing or sports wheelchairs are smaller to allow for more speed and agility.

Even if there are no bugs, (that and the fact that I live in a tiny town that has nothing like this around) I guess I am just going to have live vicariously through you! Maybe you can work on the channeling thing? Just a thought...If there are ghosts anywhere these would be the places for them.

Looks like one of the video games my kids had where you had to run around this old plant stealing flags and shooting people!

Totally Sci-FI...

OMG...just realized I have been coming to this site...and telling people about it and posting on facebook about for over 2 years!

Sorry you have a such a negative view Gordon. There is a lot more involved with recovery-based treatment than a bottle of pills. We can all be glad that mental health treatment has come a long way from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.

You are welcome!

Yes, Mr. Motts...because the door might shut, or the floor not be as solid in there as it is in the hall, or the ceiling might collapse or what if you start channeling the person that lived there? Or is it that you get their perspective for your pictures? Anyway, I would love to do what you do only I don't like bugs, weeds, heat, humidity, cold, mold or wind.
