This shot reminds me of the climactic sewer sequence of the 1949 film The Third Man.

My great grandmother and my aunt used to work there and they said that the patients sometimes were forced to have sex with each other . kinda sick

so mike mccoy i can tell ur in the army. the fake name didn't throw me off too much. the mccoy was a show in 1950's starring howard duff as mike mccoy and sheldon leonard as the police lieutenant

The creepiest thing is how this site that I find so educating and artistic deteriorates into blurbs about peoples's sexual fetishes and torture fantasies, THAT's the creepiest part - sorry.

hmm why would a physc center have a duece n a half running through a room out a window

There is a resturant which has a safe like this here in Golden, CO. I think it was an old bank bldg. Needless to say they built around it; you cant possibly move these things, they weigh tons, but anyway, they let people take cjances at trying to open it ans whoever does supposedly can keep what's inside! I doublt if someone found a wealth of historical info, old money, or whatever that promise would all chnage.....still, that's what they say. Of course it hasn't been opened since the turn of the century or earlier, but if anything IS inside I think it would be amazingly intresting no matter how "mundane". And, yes, I am sure they could "bust" it open, but the point of it still being there after all these years is it's intricate beauty - no one in their right mind would damage it, or if they did, I would call it a real crime, wether you "owned" the place or not.

This one gives you the chills. It makes me wonder what happened on that table

That is too creepy I'm surprized those stairs haven't a death! what is that rope looking thing hanging to the right of the stair way? That's even creepier

It finally closed completely in 1990

I think someone was just hot boxing that room before they took the picture LOL!

I think its actually interesting when they leave stuff behind so you see what kind of activities went on.

If anything was left behind in that room (which is doubtful) then its probaby destroyed already by vandalists

Is it me or does it look like those trays to hold the bodies in the morgue missing, What a shame. It looks digusting. Its sick how people can distroy property when most just want to learn about how these poor pacients lived and what life was like in one of these institutions.

what is it

I MEANT TO SAY ......THE IMPRESSION THAT PEOPLE WERE STILL RESIDING THERE. AND they're OBVIOUSLY NOT IN THE ROOMS THAT WERE PHOTOGRAPHED

MOTTS I WOUILD LIKE TO NOW WHAT WAS GETTING BUSY OUTSIDE BECAUSE FROM YOUR HISTORY OF THE PLACE I WAS LEFT WITH THE IMPRESSION SOME WERE STILL RESIDING THERE OBVIOUSLY NOT IN THE ROOMS THAT WERE PHOTOGRAPHED.
