I wonder if the plans for this place still exist anywhere. Would be cool if they did so someone could use them again or to get ideas for a different project.
I'm hoping we've come to the end of slap dash building for a while and might start up building for the long term again. It certainly is more green to build long lasting buildings and to rehab existing buildings.

yep oct 15-18 then the train to canada-3 days then back to Millbrook could never stay long enuff- my sister on the East coast went thru the one there and she said the building shook then she stood in a dooerway- anyhow Glad u r OKAY

You are right.

That's a Utility Room. Cells don't get them big heaters, etc. Big double sinks right handy.

They left a foot of each bar behind. Amateurs in a hurry they were probably busted trying to sell the iron. Dunno' looks like an "In the Dark" operations.

Looks like the "Black Out" door to Max Isolation cell.?

so Stax -did U feel the earth move last night - i know its a big place hope U R okay

This place has shown it's true colors over time.

where?

That is a beautiful piece of American Engineering. Believe it or not, many industrial launderers still use these. They are built like tanks and they produce well pressed dry linen at very high speeds when fully functional. In 2003, I took over at a plant in Tallahassee that had a Six Roll Slant Chest built in 1918. Well maintained and fully functional, just a little bit too slow for todays standards though. In the above picture, you do not get to see the sacriest part, double stacked rows of gears and sprockets used to drive the rolls. Originally manufacted, they didn't have all the covers and hood and safety features. Chains and sprockets were left wide open. And no Emergency Stop features either. If you got caught in, you only hoped someone quick was at the diconnect. You can still buy them remanufactured and of course updated with all the safety controls and personnel protection devices as well as more efficient controls and drives. True American Engineering, enduring.

Amazing shots. Doing this was a dream of mine, never had a chance. Keep going, your work is breathtaking....

in the past I've not had any problem / police but maybe now it's different

It's actually private property, that area is for the housing community in back. There are no posted signs so you can't get in trouble, they'll just make you leave.

I noticed the same thing about Catherine Zeta Jones....
She was not famous back in 1993 (assuming the collage dates from before the hospital was closed in 1994)....
This is really CREEPY!!! :))
