this is the best bathroom i've seen in this place. in most of the other ones, i've seen toilets and urinals that have either fallen off he wall, been blown up, or are totally gone... and i've seen pics of this state-sponsored hell in it's hayday, and there were doors, and a stretcher over a toilet for specialized patients.

hey Motts, where exactly was this pic taken? i want to see what's in that room if i haven't already.

i've seen A dog... it had a lacerated front paw, and one eye (i'm not kidding) and it looked like it was protecting something. it was right in front of the D-13D resident chambers. i quickly left, checked out the offices for any changes in document placement, and to check a time lapse camera that i placed. i saw 3 totally naked people run across that room, and turn the corner (stupid college kids) but no one looked directly at the camera, and one person did steal a few medical records...

just child protection? and i'm a little skeptical about this pic... do keep in mind that adults were housed and schooled here too.

the metal coverings served as gaurds so the residents and patients couldn't damage them and alter the structural integrity if the building. don't believe me? look at some of the other damages around the complex, then tell me if you still don't believe me. just be sure that you can back your sh** up.

DO NOT UNDER ANY SIRCUMSTANCES TURN THE POWER ON FOR ANY OF THE BUILDINGS IN OR NEAR PENNHURST. A FRIEND OF MINE IS A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN, AND HE FOUND MULTIPLE SHORTS, BREAKS, AND EVEN BLOOD STAINS ON THE WIRES AND CABLES. and please people, keep an open mind.

the chemical barrels you may have seen in here are calcium setyl-nitrate, and "heavy water" (water has 2 different isotopes; heavy water is found 1:200 ratios in most standard water supplies. the calcium setyl-nitrate was used as a cleaner for the boilers and the heavy water was used for filtering soot out of the smoke before it was released into the atmosphere.

the mayflower building wasn't used for isolation. it was used for specialized containment for patients who were a danger to themselves or others, and were often badly abused and berated.

i've never seen any bus... but then again, when i do go there, it's usually for researching the architecture and paperwork that's been left behind (note: i have never taken a document out of any building on the premises)

this is interesting... maybe the other side of the shelves were damp due to some other jack ass breaking a window and letting the rain in. this is a historical building where many aphalling (i hope that's spelled correctly) and cruel things happened. i hope that in the future, people have more respect for such a landmark as this.

i've been doing some extensive research on pennhurst, and if this is where i think it is, it's on the 2nd story of the school building. that room should be on the north west side. if any of you have any questions regarding this...oddity, e-mail me at supraboy2491@yahoo.com

My camp is less than 2 miles down the road from that place, i've been in every room on every floor, there is no such room where there is belongings from patients just tossed away

what are these stories/history? it sounds really interesting.

I live about two miles from this place, stare at it everytime I pas it, and have always wanted to explore it but I have never managed to find the time and then the renovations started and I figured it was too late. You've saved me a job, Thanks!

Of Course the dies are removed. They are own by the only offical studebaker parts dealer. He is located in building 92 the product engineering and design building of the old studebaker plant
