Ah yes ... better living through chemicals

Interesting (and CREEPY !) photos. One can't help but wonder what types of "medical proceedures" really were done to the patients ???

Neal: I remember the parties in the staff residence, the old Coke machine, and the gatherings around the first TV in about 1948. I'm three years older than Judy and I think closer to being your contemporary---friend of Tommy, Herb, and Bubby. My passion was soccer; I grew up with the recent immigrants from Europe and they quickly brought me up to their standard of play. At least in my memorary that is so. Now, my youngest son plays with the same passion and dreams of the World Cup. You remind me that our world was pretty much like the norm in the 40s and 50s, from Howdy Doody to Coke. But, it was also more communal on the circle of houses than I ever found again. The physicians and staff from all I could tell were skilled, dedicated, and humane. Remember square dancing in the large room near the commisary?

yeah ... Mike I, you can't go in there, hahah. although me and 3 friends were in there 30 minuites ago ... i mean, we went in there, didn't see a cop the entire time. we had a police scanner on us to have our backs though. its bad in there man, we got a bad feeling the moment we stepped inside and it hasnt gone away since.

It's used for an autopsy, they use it to put the patients head on while they cut it open n stuff like that, I witnessed a real autopsy, it was pretty cool acutally

When I was a teenager in the 60's we used to drive up to the hospital at night with our friends in the car...I would stall the car out and pretend to not be able to start it back up...It was very creepy with the headlights off and the moonlight shining over the face of the building...The grounds were taken care of and you could drive by the Bonner building and circle back in front of the main building...or drive on the road out back...The bars on the window and the gothic spires were beautiful and scary at the same time..What I didn't know at the time was that my own mother was sent there a few years later and I had to go visit her at the Bonner building...So I have fun and sad memories of the place...I am so happy you took the time to document this place and I found it online...Thank you

i was there a few days ago and the door said evil inside but i thought people were just trying to scare us i didnt no right behind that door was a f*ing mourge!!!

I live up here and i just went there last night with my friends, on Wed 3/8/06 i saw a white truck there..my friends were there on tuesday 3/7 and everything was open...wen we went on theuday 3/9 there were new senors on the one door people were using to break in and alot of the other doors were newly boarded up, and brand new POSTED signs were hung all over...it was creepy as hell you have no idea....it was beautiful architecture tho
