Now they don't make fireplaces like that anymore.I'm assuming this must be handmade.Mass produced goods don't have that kind of quality.

That mural really doesn't look that old.Well it's cheery and I think the patients here probably needed as much cheering up as possible.

Really? The lights reminded me somthing more like somthing from a "NIghtmare on Elm street" film. Freddy's back.

On further explorations, bring a chair,( just in case!!!:-)

Ditto

Hallway shots always my favorite too!!

A bit frightening! Thanks for the insight from an "insider"!

This gives some idea of just how DARK it must be here, at and all these abandoned properties. How long do you spend at each site, setting up shots?
Great pictures! Thank you!

The blue-tinged lighting works enticingly well with this shot.

what state are you from? (besides the state of bliss i mean... ) lol
I'm from Pa.

Are you kidding? Halloween is one of the best holidays at most institutions because of all the food and parties! Just because people live apart from others while they are getting their lives together doesn't mean they give up all the fun activities of "normal" life. At every place I have worked, the folks have enjoyed Halloween and got as big a kick as "outsiders" have with all the dressing up and goodies and parties. Denying them the normal activities the rest of us engage in is what makes them feel different and apart from others.

Absolutely fantastic shot! It's a total work of art!

Kty,

HIPAA is a federal law and applies in all states.

Actually there is some disagreement about how long HIPAA lasts and whether it is still in effect after a person dies. See:
