it is a shame but they stoped cutting the grass, it is still beautiful but not as eerie as when the bldg was dead and the grounds we still kept up.

there is also a huge industrial dryer there and clothing presses so I think it might have been used as a Laundret at some point too but it is definately a powerplant as well

It was an admin building, it is so grown over now you cant see it if you dont know it is there.

I was there roday, and I am alongside with DaveP, becays there were some kids that must have had energy because there is an overgrown baseball field behind the children's hospital and this suggests al\tleast some of the patients were active, also I found a pamphlet on occupational therapy(doing active things to help you recover like crafts or learning a trade) in the childrens bldg.

Man I love this place most out of all the urban ruins i have visited

Are those grounds tours still going on? I'd love to see this place in person!

I was at Glenndale just this afternoon. i spent 4 hours exploring teh grounds, I had not visited the place in at least 6 years and boy have things changed. I was amazed by the presence security made. But with a (using Mott's own words)"little stregtic planning" my wife and I had a fairly easy time gaining entry to all 4 main building and the staff dormitory bldgs. in addition to the adult and children's hospitals there are 2 smaller ward buildings connected by a spectacular breezeway, a mansion I assume the president of the hosptal lived in, and many scattered smaller buildings that loked like housing for staff who ranked a little higher than a run of the mill nurse. I had to wear my running shoes and I cannot stress enought how dangerous this place is if you don't have experience in urban exploration. this place was a deathtrap with unsturdy stairwells, wholes in the floor, bums, and COPS(not security guards). I grew up 5 miles from the place and I have over 10 years experence with teh compound, so take it from me, KEEP YOUR KID AWAY FROM THERE FOR HIS OWN SAKE and enjoy Mott's pictures instead of going there because the risks are not worth the $2000 fine and jail you might get if they get you.

Motts - I took about 160 pictures today so E-mail me if you want to see them


***side note - I saw a cop car every 15 min nomatter where I was on the 200+ acre gorunds today

Beautiful, I guess im the only one that feels that way but, its just a strange feeling I get when looking at this shot, great work Motts

Trays went on the spring loaded bottom, silverware on the top. use in self serving resturants like Ponderosa.

I would have opted for the slide, Love to slide.

Add this one to my list!

Love this shot!

I was here tonight for the first time in years well im 16 but u know what i mean.....upon walkin in here it got very cold and it was creepy we heard church music playing and i was the most scared ive ever been in my life...if you dont believe this place is haunted than you need to go there it is no joke.....we did infact see things that were thought to be wandering spirits it was very freaky

Oh my god.... Straight out of a David Lynch film!!

for everyone that worked at PSH at some time in their life do you have any stories of mistreatment you noticed? And/or any runaway attempts failure/successful?

its not that far at all..all the way to the right of the picture u would walk like 30 more feet and thats the front door

Sometimes we use humor because it is the only way to deal with that which is horrifying. Any morgue, but especially that of children in a place such as this, is something most of us choose not to think about. I was at first offended by the comment from Max, but then I remembered my sister and I going to pick out our mother's casket. Humor was the only way we could keep from cryiing and was in no way a sign of disrespect. On the other hand, If Max is truly a callous individual, God bless him in his ignorance. ;->
