These were considered unisex, if not specifically women's urinals. I've seen them in an old theatre. That's right, women's urinals. In the hospital they probably didn't want the women hanging out, sitting out, in the john for some reason.

Just ran across this place by accident. Didn't even know what town I was in. Call it what you want, but I call it haunted. Certain people are going to see, hear, and feel some very strange things there. Some of these people might act strange too. Some will get nothing out of it. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it didn't happen to others. I didn't even go in, just drove by. We almost went off of the road, the place was flooded, there was a white mist every where...and that was during the day! The people who go in there are very brave, but I fear for their safety....mental and physical. Two of us who drove by are now having nightmares. The buildings really should not be saved, I can't imagine for what use....who would want to be there? in a place where so many died and God knows under what conditions. The buildings need to be replaced with a park. Let nature heal the damage of man.

Hey Motts........I have never replied to any pictures before but feel the need to ask a question now. I see the comment guidelines...........so does that mean "real location names" as in I can't tell you about a location from the 1800's that is still standing that I would love on this site?

actually, on balance, the village has been pretty vigilant for a decade
plus on apprehending and prosecuting tresspassers. Hell, the cops
tried to chase us out more than thirty years ago, when i was still but a
lad.

but realistically, unless they witness entrance or egress, unless
people are being stupid and noisy, who would even know anyone
is inside this hulk that people tend to ignore in the first place?

I don't know the details really, but i presume the charges would
be
misdemeanor tresspassing,and /or criminal mischief. These
sort of scenarios are often accompanied by resisting arrest
charges, if their was a pursuit. If it were a viable property, you
could throw in vandalism, I'm sure, but no judge around here
would do anything but laugh, at least regarding any events
within Halcyon's interior. It'd be reduced to disordely conduct.If the tresspassers are young enough,
there is usually the inevitable open container or possession
charge they could toss in.

not sure what the final penalties will be, likely a fine, few months
probation, maybe a little community service. I can promise you
it is enough that these individuals will not do it again, which will be
the point, to make an example.

i think going in this place at this point is just pushing the button to
get yourself busted really, I understand the attraction, believe me,
but it is not worth it. It is so under scrutiny. The negative attention becomes a self-fullfilling prophecy for those who want demolition,
and also attracts others who are drawn to explore here. This some-what antagonistic cycle is reaching a critical mass, and is becoming
a definite factor that will start to drive events in regards to the property.

Just a few weeks back I enjoyed seeing Halcyon [somewhat up close?} in the summer moonlight, lingering closer and for alot
longer than one would imagine under the current scrutiny. But that
is the point. Admiring and entering are two different animals.

Here one needs to be quite careful doing either, for a multitude of
reasons.

be safe peoples.

love your pics. this one kind of makes me sad to think that those boxes are a representation of what ppl do to others that don't fit in society. just slap a label on them and pile them in a room and forget about them.

is it still standing whats going on with it

I worked in the Orleans building for several years, then Terrance, then Howard. The porches and trees around the Orleans building were more comforting than the atmosphere at the other buildings. I invited to one of the homes. The staff were caring people.

Brilliance!

Now I'm thinking some crazy OCD person came along and numbered them after they were all parked up. That is just too much coincidence they are in perfect order. :D

Poor little Number Nine, no one wanted to play with him because of his limp.

The side flaps look like arms... now I really feel bad for the little guy.

You could post this claiming it was a ride at Disneyland and the whole world would believe you. And how cool would that ride be??!

Damnit!

Any idea why the chalk X's are there? Checked as empty?

Lucky 13!

Very awesome.

Seems legit.

Oh my! *blush*
