I hated this place I stayed there as a child and you people can't imagine what went on in there

Iceberg - the extensions on the building may have once been outdoor solaria, open to the weather (judging from the downspouts protruding from the facade), but have been transformed into indoor space. They appeared to be common/day rooms, with the narrow bedrooms lining the recessed wall.

Nicole - many of the closed buildings had these number unceremoniously spray painted on them; I presume they are building numbers that correspond to campus maps, to help identify structures on-site for the maintenance / redevelopment teams.

Brazilian bowling ball.

Yeah, thanks flushed. Doves (Columbidae - so many of them) - then even found recipes - delicate, delicious? - tastes good with mushrooms! Crazy. Maybe dweller catches, easily; and eats, fried? Taste like Apple, French Fries and Wonderbread?
...and HOW would the GUANO smell ever go away from the building?
Ahhh, this Site - always ponderous.....

Love the vaulted ceilings! Also, the lighting fixtures are interesting in that they would be considered modern decor. I wonder when they were installed. The care and thought that were put into architecture decades and/or centuries ago is wonderful.

My favorite pic in this gallery.

Too bad the bowling alley underneath cannot be preserved somehow.

There's that ugly sea foam green again. Common color for psych wards.

The first thing I notice is how dirty looking they are. There must be hundreds of finger prints left behind.

I had no idea what this was at first sight.

Time to leave the bowling alley and return to the doldrums of daily life at the psych ward.

I would not be able to get near that mold - my #1 allergy.

Wow, never would have thought the machinery looked that complicated.

Well, I think bowling would be a nice distraction from the daily boredom of life in a psych ward.

It seems they left in mid-game.
