The graves and head stones sinking are coming from lack of vaults/and or/ grave robbing with refilling of dirt, we own a cemetery, a large one we require vaults, you will get some settling after a few months , up to a year depending on weather and the condition of the grave when the body is buried, we have had to pump water out of the grave after the family has gone up to an hour, then the casket is placed in the vault, the vault is sealed then lowered into the grave, which is then filled with dirt. There is no such thing as air tight or water proof in the ground, grave robing in my state carries a sentence of ten years, we have perppetual care, which means we take care of the graves along with making sure they remain safe from grave robers who still exsist.

saw a story about Pennhurst on the travel channel and got me interested. Sad to hear about all the torture. but might i say you have some awsome pics here. kinda transports you to the time when every thing was alive. there is a place kind of like pennhurst where i live in Ky. (Waverly HIlls Sanatorium) Very Very creepy place. and very haunted.

I just don't understand how anyone can rationalize destroying a building. What's the point? Thank you for capturing the beauty of the building for one last time, Mr. Motts.

I can't believe they would destroy something so beautiful and rich with history. Do we really need another McDonald's?
