I worked here for short period in 1978 as auxiliary domestic. This was the dentist chair I think, cus I used to clean it. The people then were all treated with great compassion and care. Some were classed insane
as they were unmarried women with children and had been placed in the home in their youth. ( then elderly) Many children were seriously
handicapped and may have not been born today. This place was a shock to see in my late teens, but was run with great humanity and care, something we may have lost today in our technological NHS,

In my high school years we used to go out in the woods -- we called it Clausland Moutain tunnels
Lots of parties up there way back then!

And the development that is going on around the original Enchanted Forest location in MD. :( http://www.baltimoresu...1105,0,3586801.story

Many of the smaller structures and figures ave been saved, restored, and relocated to Clark's Elioak Farm in MD, which is closed for their season and will open back up in the spring of 2014. On this page is a list of everything you can see there. http://www.clarklandfarm.com/CEF EF Moving to the Farm.htm

What a wonderful discovery and kinda creepy, too. The debris, straggling wires, etc., make it look like something/someone busted out, not in.

Looks like something from 'the wall'!

The nurses staion looks like a scene in one flew over the coo coos nest.

I love it.

Still don't know what this is but i found a vid on youtube titled Consonno La città dei balocchi. Something very similar shows up at the 0:36 mark.

Danke.

The beautiful, jewel-like aspect of many of the photographs in this series was especially appealing. And thank you, sir, for often taking the time to leave informative comments about the pics you take and the sites you visit. I LIKE having my curiosity assuaged. Excellent gallery.

Black bricks + white mortar = recipe for disaster. Those were some mighty brave brick masons. Master craftsmen? The uniformity of the mortar joints is amazing.

The premier gallery on the whole site; that's saying a lot. And not a morgue anywhere, but I didn't even miss it. Just beautiful picture after beautiful picture. 'Twas most satisfying.

Noob here. Don't know if I can post a link, so I'll do it the long way. On page 34 of the January 5, 1942 issue of LIFE magazine [if anyone wants to look], there's a picture of a contraption that might be similar to what Claudia and old Lpn have described. It's in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
