Great shoot Motts, TY! The things that have gone on there must have been incredible. Research that has helped many people. I'd hate to think all that nice millwork and decorative plaster will get tossed, I sure hope it gets saved.

The people in the graves push the markers up. Hands can come out and grab your leg.

Whoopsey, more than one Philadelphia Geriatric Center existed. Still sizable.

Yikes! Google Earth shows a rather large complex as mentioned the news story above. It's up and running again. abramsoncenter.org

People were told to turn off the lights and go home. Someone knew that body was there and they were told to forget about it. That's wacked, but it doesn't surprise me.

I can just be dumped at the landfill when I'm gone. Why waste a good gurney? :oD

Seen in lots of institutions for ward and run areas. Tough low maintenance stuff. Concrete masonry type with a baked-on acrylic coating is usually referred to as "glazed block." Another kind is a kiln-fired ceramic finish usually referred to as "structural glazed tile." Guts and blood wipe right off.

I can't say where this stuff is, but if somebody really wanted to see it go to further good use, It may not be that tough to do. Here, for me, I would go see some folks I know at Hands On Atlanta. Maybe their web site has some links to organizations in your area or something. Indeed that stuff is not cheap, and could definately help somebody. It IS possible.

If the stuff was here in ATL, I know how to get it to folks that could use it. If it was let loose, that is. Looks like lots of it is still usable. Even that one device for tortu.. oops, (cover nose from Lynne), I mean, stander.

It appears so Sketch. I have an engineering utility called "Convert" that lists "Torrs". 1 PSI = 51.71 Torrs. 1 Torr = 1 mm of mercury.

This is important stuff to know when somebody wants to use that old equipment to make a Frankenstein monster.

Aha! Lynne cracks and comes clean! ;o)

It looks like the nice sanitary glazed block was installed at a later date. Makes it so much easier for the mad scientists to hose the blood and guts off the walls. Harder to get splatters of brains and bloody chunks of hair off the rough painted red brick.

Used to keep the patient's, (and Motts'), axes sterile and ready for sanitary chopping using proper hygeine.

Now there's some industrial strength underwear there boy. Try popping that one off with one hand! And would I have wanted to try?
