I have seen some buildings very similiar to this that were restored to their historic fineness. However, they were built in the 1700's in Southern California. Even in the summer they were cold however.

This reminds me of Annie during the opening "Its a hard knock life". It looks just like that set and I'm waiting for Danielle Briseboisand Molly Ringwald to jump out singing.

Mosiac user here, until Netscape basically forced me to use it. I don't know anyone that actually paid for it outside of some companies, and I guess the state..

Another Great find Motts. This is one of those photographs that just screams "Watch out-- nature collides with the human race".

I was also wondering about this being for a theater production, but if so they wouldn't have the candy itself.

Interesting and great usage of selective coloring

Dang it, now I have the Johnny Cash song in my head (I walk the line)

As always, great pictures Mott. They really bring out the emotions in me.

Of all the pictures I have seen at this site, this is the one that stays with me even when I close my eyes.

If you slow down the DVD you will notice this is not from Session 9 but real art therapy. Such as the art therapy the movie based that scene on!

You can also tell by looking at some of the aging in this photograph.

Just reading this put the song Sloop John B in my head. And that song is sad to me even with the upbeat.

Wondeful photo for the last shot in this gallery.

Sadly that is the truth some places. Even regular hospitals. I went in for a heart murmor and they wanted to give that to me since my sister was concerned about having me stay overnight for a known problem that my regular doctor was fully aware of.

Needless to say I walked out against medical advice. Find out that this hospital, yes regular hospital, is known to give Haldol out to help the night shift. Especially on the cardiac ward!

At some facilities where the person who gave out the meds also had interaction with the "clients" it was much appreciated that the staff gave out meds from the window. It meant that the staff would use the rest of the time to spend with the patients one on one instead of using that time to drag the med cart around room to room to room

Thanks for the links.

I'm sure there will be a bunch of new stuff for those Urban Explorers like me that dig those weird "double-use" sites.

To me, the rooms with the "remnants of former patients" is also fascinating. It tells me "this is who were are, this is our building, please don't forget us!"

Its very true. Since the majority of the MR clients I worked with were state-funded we also had to fill in all the paperwork. And trust me, there was a lot of paperwork "for the state".

Interesting. I had a friend who's bedroom had the exact same layout with the two doors. The second one did lead to a back porch. I have never seen another room like it until tonight.
