since these buildings have ghosts now, all you have to do to see the ghosts is to look at the before picture and there they are.

Now you know what it's like to be IN the maze in Pac-Man! LOL!

You can tell this was private at one time from the fancy things like this.

Amazing that it's so clean....the ceiling tiles are intact, the floor looks saveable....just need to repaint and get the power on and voila!

How many hours were you there taking these amazing photos?

There's that asymmetry again.....subtle asymmetry.

Were there words on the keystone, or just some ornate pattern?

Interesting how the symmetry of the Kirkbride design is quietly altered with the placement of the chimney on the right and the chimney protruding from the central tower.

Ugh, that constant chirping of the smoke detectors must've been really aggravating (although it says something for the lifespan of the batteries).

Funny how this wing is peeling so badly while the older wards just had crumbling plaster revealing the underlying brick.

I love the fluorescent fixture balanced precariously on the edge of the chasm of missing floor. How many floors are missing there (you say top floor, how many floors did this section have....four like the others?)

Must've been lovely when this was a new institution....lovely colors that reflected sunlight in so many ways.

Is the floor missing beneath those far red-edged windows, or is it me?

So would I, silkster, so would I!

A multi-story chasm....how eerie!

What is hanging from the foremost fan??
