The texture and lighting are superb.

What a beautiful facade, great shot.

Wow, a new gallery, makes my day. Your story of the helicopter had me on tenterhooks, glad you got away okay.

I love the movie and the book and this place does remind me of them.

Floor to ceiling carpet...Groovy...

It's a shame that the elements lead to this place's demise. The views are amazing.

This led to an outdoor basketball court and aboveground swimming pool. I suspect the pool has been dismantled by now. Inside were two basketball courts and a seclusion area.

Ah, this is where they had the billiards table. That little door over to the left inside the nook was a patient's room. All the rooms were single occupancy, except that one (I recall two patients sharing that room).

I just LOVE that it has that curve in the hallway. Oh & i also LOVE the buildings & all the pictures! Great job

I think most of the doors with windows that we had have been replaced and those that were not have the windows covered.

Mr. Motts, you are exactly right about the mitts. I still have a set in my supply room, but we haven't used anything like that for years. People that hit or scratched themselves or others would have these mitts strapped on at the wrist to protect themselves or those around them. They were like a catcher's mitt in the front and mesh on the back to try to keep the hands cool.

Our facility had some doors like that and I think they were put in around 1978. I don't know that they reused old hardware here because it looks like what we have. I just don't think they were in to aesthetics.

When I see this I can imagine a bunch of little girls with black dresses and bows running around and giggling while painting the walls with their hands. Excellent work!!

This is beyond gorgeous, I have such an obsession with abandoned properties.

So very glad to see you back and in such fine shape the camera hasn't lost it's magic touch
