Fantastic gallery, Motts! Just like Freespirit I'm looking forward to seeing a gallery from the deep South. : )

Just like 2 or 3 other photos in this gallery, I really like the lighting in this shot, Motts!

All the vivid and variety of colors in this photograph are really great, Motts! Who knew that a decrepit communal bathroom could be so colorful and interesting! : )

I really like the lighting in this photo, Motts! I think you named it very appropriately!

Looks kinda sad. : ((

I agree that the musician panels should be salvaged. A great addition to a jazz club somewhere. Unfortunately, many insurance policies state that if you receive compensation for something as a 'total loss' you can't salvage it or reuse it. I'm sure the 6 Flags sharp pencil crew took the money and ran with it.

Lovely fireplace! However, unlike eldokid, I do NOT want to sit by it right now. The high today here is supposed to get up to 92 degrees F. Instead, I want to sit near one of my AC vents. : ))

WOW! At first I wasn't sure if this was an indoor or outdoor shot! : ) There's so much mold in this place, if I didn't know better I'd say it was located in the tropics!

@paul Unhinged!?...cute.

@Motts. Great picture!

No doubt that must be chunks of the fallen ceiling on the bed. It reminds me of large size pieces of baked flat bread. Hmm...it must be about lunch time! : )

@Freespirit76. Yes, I agree! Bay windows are really nice!...As long as there aren't bars or locked screens on them! : )

Good shot, Motts! Really nice mural! I wonder if the artist who painted this mural is the same one who painted the other murals in this building? I guess we'll never know.

@BKW Ontario. I totally agree with you there! I definitely would not have wanted to be a patient here back in the day, and have a fire start in the middle of the night. Everyone in the hospital would have been burnt toast for sure! The powers that were are just very lucky that never happened!

Okay! I think I might know what the small square door (in the doors) might have been used for. To start out with it may have been there to pass mail (like someone said) and messages to patients. But as meds started to be used for physical ailments the little square door could have been used to pass those meds to patients. Then, when psychotropic meds started coming out in liquid and pill form, the staff could have passed those meds to the patients thru the little square door....Just a thought.

Ut-Oh! : D
