Such a clean looking machine. The picture is fantastic! Looks to date from the 50s or 60s?

Amazing!

...I'm in agreement, Lynne. Holloween would be and is a most beloved childhood memory, regardless of ones mental digressions later in life....

OK--now that's just plain strange!

With them leaving those files,etc like that it kind-of gives me the impression that they really didn't care about the people being treated there---pretty sad.

I hate to tell ya but that ain't no therapy chair!!! It's and exam table for a GYN exam for women. I don't even want to think about what happened to some of the patients on that thing!!!!!

I can't believe this map was just left there!

Reminds me of the Edvard Munch painting, "The Scream"....

Lol now that's cool. And yeah i agree with the comment above- it does look very totem-ish.

in responce to AndyO,

of course motts knows the name to the location, but for th web its better to call the good locations by faux names, so if you know the name keep it hush hush. as for letting anyone in, its a good thing they don't, serously if 100 photographers went into that place, its a very good chance one of them would die by falling through the floors.

Geez.... sure is big

Wow, this looks just like a castle about 5 miles away from where i live. Cool pic btw- one of my favourites on the site easily.

buildings were meant to be marvels...

yes sam i know i miss it alot since i dont live there any more!

Riverside State Hospital was a clever name to make for this place... [edit] is maybe a bit more accurate. Either way, the place is beautiful and a photographers dream. Everyone should be able to get in for photography perposes.
