It would be wonderful to find out the details behind this mural. The feeling I get from it is this was an outpatient area, or a part of the hospital where patients could go to socialize, receive counceling, or take part in arts and crafts or other activities, and the people on the wall were staff and patients heavily involved with this area. Is it possible many of these folks are still alive and living in the area? If anyone has found out information please post. Thank you Dan

Does anyone here remember Bill Kopsho and/or Father Sean. Bill went to Selisian in about 1967. I would appreciate any information. Bill is on death row in Florida and I am working on his appeal. Thank you. I can be reached at 8137403544 x 104 or mailhot@ccmr.state.fl.us

It makes you question about what exactly went on in this place, and how. What was taught and what being said and why they shut it down. My self personally would enjoy touring this place and many others!

I was thinking checkmark or possibly possible demolitions, in regards to the trees being cut down thing, possible doors to be removed or salvaged?

I theorize it may be a "safe room". In an Institution that needs to lock up the customers there is probably a security issue and if there is a riot the staff would need a place of safety.
Another theory is that when they bought the lock two sided dead bolts were all that was available to get the job done.

Iceberg, Many old government and hospital buildings were built in a very formal style with entrances like this.
It's weird but this building reminds me of the Shelter building I was in at the Isolation Hospital. I think it was not as grand or tall as this. Just simple brick. regular size windows.
