this black and white photo is very atmospheric and eerie

the sense of abandonment shows through i love this site for its psectacular photography its inspiring

this is fantastic i love the water surface and the reflections

well this is the room i worked in, I was a lab tech in the 60's...looks kinda different, but the truth it was weird then and spooky.

my father served on the PC-1217 during WW2and was involved with the great atlantic hurricane.

My father worked as a bar hop in the 60's mostly during the summers. He said it was good money for a side job. The Jewish ladies loved to tip him big. My sister and I were friends with the Ehrlich children in the late 60's and early 70's. They lived in a house next door and the hotel was our playground. We skated in the rink, swam in the pools, played in the game rooms and had glorious dinners and birthday parties in the sumptious dining room. It was a paradise. I'm so sorry to see it has become yet another abandoned resort. If only it could have held out longer for a rebirth and a renaissance. The photos are absolutely haunting.

if we can see your shadow in the door, mr. motts, why can't we see your reflection in the mirror?

Wow this brings back so many memories. Both my parents worked at Pilgram....Mom for 17 years and Dad retired in the late 80 after 20+ years. I remember walking these halls.....seeing all the patients......Wow beautiful pics and THANK YOU

yes there were walls that divided them but no doors used to work there

Yep definetely a coffee/staff room. Which isn't sayin much.. LOL I can still see the small table in the far rite corner. Some of the Staff coffee rooms had windows that viewd the Day rooms so you could see the patients. At least building 22 did on ward 226.. But it was sooooo long ago.

This could be an illustration for Stephen King's story: The Plant.
One of my favorites, Motts.

Do you have pictures of old broken down houses that were abandoned from the 40's?

Isn't that a potty chair??? Didn't want to yell clean-up in elevator to hell!!..lol..

I wonder how he walked with that too small upper paw though..lol..
poor POOR SNOOPY!!

I remember those, it had a string to pull it as you walked..lol..
