There is something very different about this room.
Even though there is rubble on the floor and portions of the wall and ceiling have fallen apart this room still has a strange look about it.
The room looks as if someone has picked up all of the rubble and then they cleaned the floors, walls and ceiling and then placed the all of the rubble back on the floor.
Motts is right when he wrote that the interior is suspiciously clean.
I don't see any "soap dispensers". These were mentioned about other photos, also. There would never be a soap dispenser anywhere without a sink right next to it and I did not see any sinks.
Hi, I just discovered this site and it has brought back lots of memories. I worked in the Corcoran Building (127) with Tom Unverzagt in Kitchen 8 during 1965-1966. At the time I was a Kitchen Helper and he was the Ingredient Man. I was a Grade 1 , which was as low as you could get. I mad $140 every 2 weeks. I left when drafted into the Army in September of 1966. Tom spent his days setting up all the ingredients based on the recipes so the cooks could make the foods for the patients. We served 800 patients, 2400 meals a day plus the employees and nursing school dining rooms. I remember the cooks made everything from scratch. They took great pride in the quality of their food and all the vegetables were fresh, many grown right on the grounds of the state hospitals including CI, Kings Park, and Pilgrim. I had a good friend who worked at the hospital vegetable plant where they processed all the farm grown produce. John Brown was his name and he was well known for being the best at pounding down the barrels of sourkraut. I could go on for a long time but I've written enough. Thank you for the photos.
Okay, good I'm not the only one who can see the half face in the lower right hand corner. Almost looks like a 1920's portrait of a man with a moustache.
