WOW, look at how the WALL shifted in the right hand side of that image....yeah, that drop tile mush must've been such a "wonderful refreshing" FUNK! EIW.

We have 14 of these machines you can review them in our history and information section at http://www.dogtagsrus.com - this is a graphotype 6341 machine it is sad to see it in it's present condition, that machine is a work of art.

I know they probably had a bag under the chute, but doesn't it look like they paid some poor schmuck to wait and catch the incoming? (Eww!!! soiled again!)

I wonder where the rest of the stiles are.

It is interestng that the seats are still there. In most of these situations that is the first thing to get sold off.

IT makes sense that the admin building is in better shape as it was probaly the last building to be vacated

Sure beats some new mass produced monstrasety. It is amazing the level of craftsmanship in these buildings

This fixture may be part of an emergency lighting or safety circuit, in which case it is designed to always stay on. As long as there is power to the building it would be in operation. In responce to the question of longevity notice that it is a flourescent, which, particuallarly the type purchased for a large insttuion where cost is a factor, could be an extened life version.

I moved to Brentwood in 1959. This is what these monsters looked like even on a clear day!

I asked my mom today if she knew anything about Pennhurts. Turns out that my Grandma's friend's son was in there, and that she got upset when Pennhurst closed 'cause she didn't know what she was going to do with her son...why couldn't she just love him?

This photo is absolutely incredible...it makes me want to smile because for some reason it makes me feel as if whoever is still there is safe...

...perhaps it looks like someone got too tired to find a bed...if there ever was a bed placed in there.

Motts, I love how you depicted all the lonely chairs. It's your hallmark for Pennhurst. :) Find more! Perhaps take a video camera in there and then put it online so we could all see?

I wonder...is there someone on the other side of that door waiting to say, "Boo!"?

The picture is strange...I'm not sure if I would want to visit Pennhurst, maybe just get a closer look at it...like walk around in the bushes and hide ya know?
