getting to the top of the cube is hard, but its very very possible. i couldnt really go up all the way, my fear of heights really started to get to me, but if ure strong enough to hold yourselfup for a bit you can get to the top of the cube.

i have this same photograph that i took the day i was there. i went all the way to the very top of the building, as high as u can go i believe. that long stretch of roofing? very unstable in the middle. i ran across it twice. once to get into this building, and next to get back to where we were and to run away from a cop lol

im curious as to how you got into this buidling.....it wasnt easy for my friends and i to do. and this buidling, least now i know this, is patrolled regularly.

im assuming mostly because of the copper thiefs

I've walked past this building almost everyday for the past 5 years and I never knew that it was, or could be so beautiful inside.

Again, I can not believe the "shots from Motts" Incrediable!!!
It seems as though no expense were spared to "house" these unfortunate souls with mental illness! What beautiful arch-a-texure was used, if not appreciated "then" by patients and staff, it sure is being appreciated now through the photographs that Mr. Mott is so graciously shared with us!

ALL these buildings were Beautiful back in their day, and even now in their time of stress and decay....they are still Beautiful!!!

I have to say that I've just discovered this beautiful sight with photography of the likes I've never seen. I love the photos of all the old buildings, and have enjoyed, and been educated reading the comments. However, I think the the "hospitals" still appear to be getting bad feedback, even in these years. I would hope the public realize that WHEN these places were open, they did NOT look like this, and although I admit that "bad" things did occur, it was of ignorance of the "issues" people had, not because there were better ways and they chose to just be mean and neglect the patience! Love the work, and comments though...will take me several days to go through all the albums, but what a way to spend a rainy spring weekend!
