...nice place to hide from the boogy-man...or to be scared**by him....

I love this! I'm still trying to figure them out...pumps, air tanks, something with hydrogen?
Where were they located, Mr. Motts? It looks like a brick wall on the left-were they in the basement? Maybe nothing so dark...whip cream dispensers?

...a primitive surge protector? Gosh, I feel geeky :-)

euth: Mr. Motts photos are so very sharp. I can clearly see the beauty in the contrasting colors The red brick is disruptive but intriguing...A similar stone structure can be seen on Blackwells Island in NY. The picture I saw was of a lighthouse-when i saw it , it put me in mind of Mr. Motts photos. I wish Mr. Motts had another location (Blackwells Island)...hint, hint :-}

Nice finish to another beautifully photographed site, thank you, Motts and cohorts!

Mr. Motts!-What, no carabiners? ;-)

I made a comment about the previous photo that could apply to this photo.
I do believe mass showering was thought of as a timesaver. Hosing down in particular would get the job done even faster. I doubt the patients showered daily. What a horrible thing to have to undertake-by both staff and patients.

Mr. Motts, Was there overhead plumbing visible?

if there is a staff to patient ratio involved, I guess the more the merrier :-)

reminds me of the wartime cartoons of the little guy with the gasmask...
Excellent shot!

so this device kept track of electrical currents in conjunction with equipment used for ,oh, say, >shock < treatment 8-O

..anybody know if those are solenoids?

...pointing to the depths of....

this is what I meant... the lower brick area doesn't look to be mortised-like the windows...the upper floors look mortised and I think they closed up open porches sometime later....
