This place really IS Byberry's younger brother.

Has anybody noticed the girl in the wheelchair in the painting or is it just me? Kinda of weird maybe they were treaching these children that they werent so different from outsiders?

How freaky! What kinda mind could create such a piece of work! Those feet are just creepy!

This is beautiful! It's a gorgeous fireplace! I would kill for something like this in my house!

This is disturbing. What kind of adults were placed in "cribs"? Looks more like a crude cage to me. Like these people were treated like animals in a zoo.

They do have a certain retro-air to them, don't they? I could see them in a sitting room with a big fat cat sleeping on one of them.

Look at the lack of protection around the fan's blades! Jeezus!

More than one abandoned bike? That just sends chills through me! Like everyone just abanded the place before they were prepared to do so.

Accessibility. If a building didn't have ramps everywhere (and most didn't) you would need one of these to carry someone up or down steps. These would be needed if someone actually died or if they were just injured and couldn't walk. It is a dangerous journey to carry someone on a regular stretcher up or down steps, and if their body doesn't fit the dimensions of a regular stretcher the trip becomes even more potentially hazardous.

That is an odd greeting for a building to proclaim, ya think? Even the way it's written is odd.

This is a sad and empty shot. How long has that bike been there for it to leave it's rusted impression in the cement like that? God, it's just depressing-looking. That bike used to bring fun and now it's just a rusted relic.

I must second what Anna's said with my own resounding "creepy!"

Imagine this building in its heyday! It has such an immense presense in its current condition--it must've been incredible during it's years of operation.

How eerie. I find this picture stirring, like unfinished business.

yeah i went there a lot when i was a baby too haha... but i was born in 84 so i was pretty young when it closed. all these pics rock. nice photography. im glad i was up at like 3am looking at random sites i could find
