It does look like a hole to me too. Was the building still pretty sturdy?

Wow even most of the cardboard is still intact! The post office can destroy a box in 3 days and this one is still pretty good after 30 years.

It has stood up well to neglect. The teal color is so beautiful. I like the painting.

Were these wide enough for them to roll the beds out? Or did they sit out there. The doors look wide enough to move beds. Gorgeous.

Happy Happy Joy Joy! A new gallery! The lonely bench. Love the bluish lighting.

Seeing them in use puts them in a new perspective. One girl is sleeping. They are eating. If it worked, do it. They sure didn't have a lot of options back then and they did what they could to help. Actually a warm bath IS relaxing and if it calmed even half of the patients, it was a success. The tubs look very sad today with the old canvas still attached. They were built to last. The room at Pilgrim looks clean and the patient's are not abused. 50 years from now, they will look back on the treatments we use today for those with mental illnesses and think how barbaric we were.

They were smart enough to leave the rest in peace. Old tombstones are fascinating.
