Love those old theater seats.

This room makes me wonder what the average length of stay was.

I'm just wondering how you were able to get a picture of my living room without me knowing it. lol

Interesting that the window pains on the floor seem so much smaller than the wall windows, knowing that they are the same size in actuality. I can't help but see symbolism here. Great photography.

Never alone

Maybe they are some kind of lighting rather than heating units. These photos are stunning. I never knew that mold and peeling paint could be so beautiful and would move me in such a way. It's as if the building is now as broken as it's former inhabitants. Please keep up the good work.

I LOVE THIS!!! GLAD TO SEE SOME NEW PICS MOTTS!

A tap bell is used for communication, the same as you would see on a hotel's front desk. For years modern (day) health facilities now have electric call lights in all patient's rooms, to call a nurse. During the earlier years of this facilities existence, I'm sure the tap bell was the main source for calling a nurse. Though today the bells are still widely used by patients who may have trouble speaking, low mobility or who is outside of their room away from the more modern convenience of a call light. TB patients were often left to sun in areas of the hospital out side of their rooms.

This is one of my favorites. It's breathtaking!

was used as a visitors room

There is a basemwnt under this level that leads to other bulidings...

I used to party down here when the bulidng was open. It looked just as scary back in the 80's. Pipes used to bang real loud and the noises down there were real scary.

the middle is the dining room... buliding 41 is to the left.43 to the right
This "quad" was called group 4
