Poor Emmett! After doing all of that cleaning, it must be odd to see it so dirty. I love old buildings like this and it's sad to see them deteriorate. I wish there were some way to save them!

I have always loved B&W photgraphy, but yours is just perfect!

Sooo Beautiful! The first thing that came to mind was that book I read as a kid, "The Secret Garden." It's just how I use to picture the garden...

Oh so pretty! I have a weird fascination with scaffolding...something about it makes me happy!

It's pretty amazing, all the work and recources that went into building, and maintaining something like this, and now it is just being left to decay...

There was yet another fire in the building last night. Its not burnt to the ground but its probably not safe to go in. I tryed going last night but the cops were waiting and wouldn't let us in. There have been 4 fires in 20 months from kids partying so if anyone wants to go now is the time.

your work is great!she looks like kristen dunst with long black hair

maybe a stamp machine?

or the girls to look thru...teehee

weren't all the tables used for people stainless steel? easier to clean? awesome lighting tho.

its illegal and always has been to leave papers regarding patients. none of those paper dicusss patients, the good documents are probably the only things removed from this place.

in responce to kevin, that so sad... many people were forced to leave by the NAACP, they liked it there they didn't know any other place and were incapable of taking care of themselves.

i like this one, ths picture is off balence and its far away.. which is symbolic for the fact that its abandonded

again i must re comment on the fact that, NAACP closed it down because of one women being held there against her will because she said she liked being homeless .. soo the NAACP decided they should all have a choice, even though they shouldn't be trusted making decisions due to the fact that they are mentally ill. but regardless the NAACP closed them down saying they were unconsitutional to hold people or lock people up. nobody was tortured there ever.... if you were cold when you visited it, you probably should have worn a jacket.

um.. i am very upset about the dumb rumors about this place.. nobody was tortured in the basement and anywhere else... the NAACP closed the asylum down because it claimed it was unconsitional, and if the crazies wanted to be homeless they had that choice.
