No, this is before fieldstone, if you are coming from Garnerville. At the four way stop turn into the parking lot by the church. If you drive through it all the way on the far left side. I've been told it was the old hospital. One side was for men the other for women.

actually, really confused patients will still climb over the side rails of the beds. Hence the job of the sitters was born.

oh great, i was just on El Peecho's site for like two hours.
thanks for the heads up radical ED

they look like X-ray viewing boxes, damaged by fire

hey i think I found my band name lol...great idea!

Awsome picture Motts....

That's not a mimeograph. It's a duplicator. a very small Offset press that used oil-base ink and water with electrostatic plates. Almost every office building from 1920 to 1969 had a few of these in the basement. I ran one of these for almost fifteen years (this one looks like it might be made by Multi-graphic, AB-Dick, or American Type Foundry.) you put the ink in the tray that is close to the camera, with all the adjusting scews, paper in the other side, the plate on the large chrome cylinder

noisy and smelly, but a required element in a pre-xerographic office.

Amityville a little

It looks like a late seventies / early eighties bike. From the time period when the style of childrens bikes made the shift from street cruiser style to a more BMX style. The handle bars look BMX but the seat is closer to a banana seat. I had a bike that was similar to this bike in 1979 called the Huffy "road thunder". It was sweet!

did you have a moment to find out what those books were? were they text books, or peices of fiction?

this shot is amazing. at the risk of sounding cliche it look just like something out of a horror film.

I don't remember seeing much else other than this whole wing that was sealed off.

I'm wondering the same thing Motts.
Oh, watch out for *add-ons* on El Peecho's site. A friend got a viral ad campaign latched onto his PC when he went there.

I'm not sure if it was anything therapeutic or useful, perhaps it was just a nice design to break up the monotony of the long halls.
