This is so awesome<3

this is gorgeous

not copper,steel high pressure pipes which are rusted.the white covering is asbestos, the piles are potty for pigeons{don:t slip}.

Not so Kelly!Ghosts are not just the traditional image of moaning,transparent figures in shrouds.You often wouldn't know one if you met them on the street.

It looks like maybe a mirror was reflecting someone? Possibly Motts himself, cause it looks kind of like his hands are to his eyes, taking a picture? ::shrug:: i dont think i would wear red if i was a ghost...

This picture is amazing, i also wanted to cry when i saw it. its so lonely..

Yes, this photo is wonderful...sent shivers up my spine. I think it was the curtain as well!

I read that once a patient overdosed on pills because they left the medication not locked up. He didnt do it on purpose, simply because they looked like candy more than likely

I used to live on Bridge St. on the 300 block. About 2-5 minutes away from Pennhurst.

Pottstown? Thats were i live, haha. And i wouldnt doubt it, either. I sometimes wonder about the people around here...just mosying the streets looking like they have nothing better to do...

Perhaps used for isolation? They usually had all the beds and patients together in a big room when they slept.

Wow...this place is beautiful in the winter. Im afraid to go in the winter in fear that maybe the weight of the snow on the roof could cause one to collapse..

The hole looks like it might just be a vent of some sort...

Maybe there were no doors so that staff could watch patients, kind of like what Lynne said.

And this building looks worse than the others, so maybe it wasnt really taken as good care of.

The 2nd floor of the Administration building caught fire. The Administration buildings the main one, right in the front, lol.

Perhaps this was used by the lower-functioning patients. I read in Lost In A Desert World that the lower-functioning dorms were often in very bad shape...holes in the walls, feces all over...
