a punishment/control chair...a variation of the crib theme? how easy it would have been to strap in a "problem child" and go about your day. we all want to think the best. beautiful shot.

This place would be alot better without spray paint.!!!

Nature has the upper hand!! Good Shot!!!

i have a newly-diagnosed mental illness and have been hospitalized 3 times in the past three years to help figure out the best medicinal course. i have a FABULOUS doctor who always had me stay where he worked so no one else would work with me and potentially @#**! things up. i have always felt safe. however, i have seen "clients" put through like chattle and i know--having discussed this at length with my doc--that, if these cribs were available (and not frowned upon), hospitals would gladly use them. this is my first time visiting this site. although i find all these images horrifying, the adult crib was indeed the scariest. i have been able to come home after a week, unlike more people than i ever imagined, and in that week i encountered many people who have no support systems t speak of and find themselves stuck in these "modern" hospitals that are still as gut wrenchingly violent and misguided as when they were first conceived. i ramble on...thank you for this site.

I don't believe in ghosts but i do have quite an experience to tell about glenndale involving an awesome girlfriend and first kisses, etc ;-) We did hear some laughing off in the woods behind it toward electric ave but i'm guessing one of the bachelors in the houses on that street was having quite a rockin party. but you can include my spawning romance in your book if you like :-)

Awesome pics

You have fine English, sternheim.

Anyways, how bad is the stench in these places, Motts? I can't imagine what must be growing in the water...

Whoa...is that a beak in the upper left-hand corner?

Surprisingly cleaner and more organized than my own desk...

XD LOL

TRULY FASCINATING-AN AMERICAN TREASURE-PLEASE DONT GO OLD MAIN

I can understand how some really heavy equipment might be left behind, but its just odd how this stuff was just left up. I really don't know how to explain it, its just...odd.

^ yes, it looks like its bowing down in mourning and in silent respect.

Hey, if you get rich enough to afford THIS baby (and all of the repairs to restore it) you could have the main floor as your gallery of ruins and live more than comfortably in the upper floors....save the big looming tower for the tourists' view from the top.

It just makes me seething mad...sure you'd have to do a little work to save the place...oh my - work! The novel idea!

Apparently there is a Danver's Preservation Fund, I read about it in one of the signatures on the petition (the most recent page as of now). Sorry to get so involved in this, but it really ticks me off how inconsiderate some people are. If I had the money, I'd go around and buy places like this to preserve them!

Maybe it was either to keep people from climing the posts....OR maybe the plaster was crumbling and it was used as a cover for it instead of repairing it (like a pressed tin ceiling was sometimes used to hide cracking plaster ceilings).
