The central "attic" that sits directly underneath the towers mostly consists of a large, ornamental space, similar to a ballroom, chapel, or theater (sans stage). Definitely could have been a medical library.

Yup the towers are "hollow" - a unfinished spaces with ladders that lead to multiple landings which ascend to the tops. Looks like something one would find in a church steeple, but of more substantial construction (stone arches, large beams).

Thanks!!

Cool, love stories like those!

There was a graveyard nearby but I don't believe patients were buried there; it looked like any other public graveyard. Not sure where patients went after they passed away at this location.

this is my favorite building at KPPC, and now that demo has started in the powerplant, its one of the few buildings u can still get into, although, all first level entrances are welded as well as windows and tunnel entrances, ...a bit of climbing never hurt anyone =]

'We will live forever'

You never do fail to impress.
Molto bene, Signore.

If I was a moth, I'd eat those socks too.

Mm mm mmmmmm.

Jeeeesus... He was so messy.
Wonder where he is now...

Moldy pomegranites.
Or oranges.
Or apples.
Or dragon fruit.
Or plums.
Or nectarines.
Or peaches.

Or maybe even dumplings.

Or roast potatoes.

I have to say, I live in the UK now, and graffiti over here consists of mis-spelt swear words, and badly drawn pictures of genitals/cannabis leaves etc... The British youth of today have no drawing or spelling skills.

The type of graffiti shown in this shot looks a lot more... Respectful... Somehow.
Like someone took their time with it.

Oh us Italians really do love our tiles, don't we.

Icewall,

Yes! Me to. A place to go for crisis counseling to take care of and nurture yourself and arts to express yourself with. Way better than a hospital and cheaper.

I've never been to Rocky Point but I'd love to see it, I wish I was around at the time it was in full swing. :/

Perhaps meals were kept warm or cool in these boxes. The staff could place the meal in from one side, then the patient/resident could access it from their room.
