You're absolutely right, silkster. And look at the drop-off on the left side. If one were to slip...
I understand that not having the tub so low to the ground could make it easier for staff to bathe patients, but it just seems careless.

Why thank you : ) Perhaps cuz I don't talk lyk dis? lol. Has AP English payed off? Nah, I slept through that...I mean...I studied, very hard!

Motts,
out of all these buildings that you got pictures of the outside, are any of these still in use at all?

Robin,
Yeah, it sort of does. Also, it looks like there is a raccoon coming through the mattress and in front of it looks like a hangmans noose.

and round....

Just an observation here......
The bathtub is so close to the window, especially for children taking a bath, (safety issue) also, why is it raised up from the floor like that when most were handicapped patients..... If you notice... the shower curtain rod (if there was a curtain on it right now) does not shield the bather from the window , it includes it instead.

Truthfully, I don't know if I could walk through that hallway if I saw a light flickering.... it would seem too foreboding somehow.

Motts, do you remember which building this stairwell was in?

I know our Nuclear Medicine Lab had one of these tv monitor things. I'm not exactly sure how it was used, but I do remember seeing it in about 1984.

I know its not... But it reminds me of a Confessional.

Thanks quest... I put up most of the photos I take, so there isn't much in the "archives". But yes I did make it back there one more time.

Nah, not in Byberry, it looked like it was thoroughly cleaned out by the time I got to visit... then again, I didn't look too hard.

I would guess they wheeled the children out in their beds to get fresh air and sunlight.

It didn't smell, and yes it was probably torn apart by cats or raccoons.

Yes, the precarious staircase on the right led up to those floors. The main control board was located in that room.
