Oh my goodness. As a filmmaker I can see so much potential for a film in just this picture and the description. This would make an insanely intriguing and heartfelt film. Thank you Motts for taking time and energy to go out and bring back so many treasures for us to view and understand, and also to inspire us.

Another place to take some more interesting cemetery photographs would be the "witch" cemetery in Salem, MA. There are some pretty peculiar stones there.

In the early 1980s Building 15 housed what were termed "Chronic/Acute" patients. There were six wards on three floors. The two wards on the first floor were "open" wards--the doors were not locked. Floors 2 and 3 had locked wards and the sickest patients were on the third floor. The elevator could only be accessed by staff with a key. Parking was in the back of the building where the ground was lower. The entry was into the basement where the laundry was stored.

Before they moved the patients over from Central Islip hospital every ward in Group 4 was a female ward (geriatrics).

This was a dormitory. They were modified for patient "privacy" as an upgrade from its being completely open originally. There were armoire closets in each cubicle between the beds for patients belongings. The office had a window that the evening and night staff could get a quick look into the dorm while in the office completing charts and records.

Yeah, that's a staff coffee room; but the med room was the same size--two doors down the hall (at least in Group 4 they were).
