the most fun I had and the better therapy was the art therapy. I made a vase to put small trinkets in. I also enjoyed sketching pixs and hanging them on the wall in my room at the state hospital.

that poor bird saw something unheard and then flipped its wing and fell to its death, the poor bird. Seeng it there deceased make me sad. wonder why doctor feline did not move the bird!

my granny back in 1959 to 1967 had a sink very similar to this one. One evening I was brushing my teeth and I leaned on said sink, and since it had no reinforcemnents neneath, only the elbow pipe into the wall, the blame sink fell into me, and it was heavy for a small child. I cried and hence forth, I stayed clear of old sinks as that one.

Gee, like catlea, I thought it was a hallway since it being so narrow. This room when it was filled with all those cots, it would be a tight space. Gee.

Those wings seem so small, did they house children or youth in these places? of course could have been a small adult. At first I thought it an angel that had lost its head. These angel wings give a somber feeling within.

Those bulbs really are creepy and looks like congealed blood sticking on them. Now that is way out creepy!

Chairs! and more chairs! I have visited Verdan Psychiatric Hosital, Adonia State Hospital via Motts' site, and there is something about these chairs the hospitals all have, and many of them sit within an archway full of light. Did the sunlight calm these patients you guess? Or maybe the staff liked basking in the sunshine on their breaks.

Motts, you are an outstanding photographer! I would like someone like you to be my photography teacher! You do awesom e work!

I would hate to know i would have to be locked up in a place as this. It is so sad and foreboding looking. I cry for it.

Okay, not only am I bad at spelling, looks like I cannot read either...I guess it the moon. Sorry! :)

Is that a star above the building? Motts, you did an awesome creation with this pic as it reflects the light atop the building! An awesome reflection!

My question? Why was this old mental asylums made similar to old gothic structures and castles? Why not a plain ordinary looking hospital? I love the designs though because these old abandoned asylums makes good ghost stories!

Those small doors mystifies me. Why were they there for? It looks similar to a laundry shute! Maybe this is a patient shute, they would slide the unruly patient down the shute and into a padded room...now that would seem like balls of fun! Slip sliding away!

the "time out" chair is waiting for you!
come and sit if you will,
and you will get a great big thrill!

Now this, this is what night terrors are made of. I can actually imagine a furry creature popping up from that poor has-been mattress. Yipes!
