I think the only beautiful thing about Pennhurst is the architecture of the building. Certainly nothing that went on inside it's lovely walls would be described as beautiful.

The curtains match... the decay.

Yes. All 5 parts were on the above link.

It is a very heartbreaking story.

Yes a disturbed mind. Who wouldn't be disturbed by being locked up in a hell hole. I believe this note smacks of suicide. Pushed beyond the cry for help.

My aunt had one. It was called a "reducing machine". Think it only reduced her hard earned cash.

I DONT THINK THAT THE COVER IS THE ORIGINAL.

amazing amazing site. Am totally in awe of your work and your balls to do it. From all us chickens out here who have desperately wanted to see these places, thank you. I had to comment on this geri chair. We had two of these when I worked at a nursing home and the residents had to share them. They cost thousands of dollars. Why would so many be just left behind? But then, if every place you photographed were cleaned out, we wouldn't get that same sense of what had been, I suppose. I wonder if you are ever tempted to take something from these places. Something amazing just left to rot away. Have you ever been caught in the act? Is there a place or places that you just cannot get into? Are you also studying the science of the decay you find? Looking at certain pictures you can see how different materials hold up much better than others, I wonder if you think these things. Again, thank you.

I have the suction machine from Pennhurst. It's missing one of the bottles and the pressure guage glass is broken. It weighs about 25 lbs. It's soon to be a lamp in my trophy room. Talk to me by signing the guestbook at LOST IN JERSEY website. I hang out in Byberry, Pennhurst, Greystone, Marlboro, and Skillman if you need a guide. PHANTOM.........
