Oh, I read Motts' intro page. He uses pseudonyms for the lesser known places. That way troublemakers can't go there. Very conscientious.

I had the tiniest dose of chorpromazine (Thorazine) once when I was in the hospital. I signed my self in suffering from a nervous burnout (long story), anyway I asked the nurse if there was anything that could help me sleep. She said the only thing authorized in my chart was Thorazine. "Thorazine! ," I exclaimed, "I'm exhausted, not psychotic!" She explained that Thorazine is used in very low doses for general purposes.
Let me tell you, that tiny dose knocked me right out. The next morning I had sweats. After the morning stretch and a bit of breakfast I went back to sleep. Slept like a rock until the early afternoon.

I second that, Mnementh, the glare on the blue is dazzling!

Lynne,
I wondered why O-R scrubs were colored a sort of light teal rather than white. I guessed colors such as this were indeed the complementary colors of red. Red as BLOOD. I also supposed the colors reduced glare from the lighting, but I dunno if that has anything to do with it.

Note the old-style door. I've been noticing these throughout.

As you pointed out about that hallway at the Bennett school, such a narrow corridor would never be allowed with today's fire codes.

A coffin filled with straw is one thing, but if you run across a coffin filled with Earth, run away like hell!

Very beautiful, very gothic. This reminds me of the kind of places described by H.P. Lovecraft in his stories.

A little kerosene and a match would take do the job those officials were supposed to do! But I can tell Motts isn't they pyromaniacal type.

I would have hauled out as many of those records as possible. My kind of reading material!

At last we know what became of Beavis!

My ex-gf had similar labels in her bedroom closet! LOL!

It should give you the chills. In lots of institutions, patients were cagd up in these things for days on end! Treated worse than animals they were!

Nice graffito on the right side of the arch. Story o' my life! ; )

It's the frame for an old thingamajiggit somethingorother watchamacallit doohickey, what did you think it was?

Motts: Where is this place? I googled "Roseville State School" and only came up with your site. Did the institution go by a different name?
