made my day Motts - thanks

This place looks like it's still in use.....It looks better then the hospital I work in.

I was waiting for the soap dispenser joke to come out. haha!

Seriously.....how bad did this place smell ?

Shit (goat or other) happens.... Just glad to see your back and greatful for the photos.

Good to have you back Motts!! Hope everything is ok! We've missed you!

I have recently learned my grandmother--about whom I have been able to learn very little--was consigned to Central Islip at the time of the 1930 census. I am fascinated by your all your photos and very interested in the activities roster as a possible key to her experience. You mention finding patient diaries. Did you keep any of these by any chance? Do you know anything about what became of patient records? Would much appreciate any further information albout patients' experience. Thanks

@ liza--a grossing table is a table where a 'gross examination' of a cadaver is done. They come in hundreds of types/styles and are also referred to as a 'necropsy' table.

Motts, as everyone has expressed....very glad you're back in circulation!
Life tends to run over us sometimes, instead of us living life. And, of course, it all has to happen @ once. I hope things will soon be back to a manageable state without too much stress. Please know your 'family' here cares a great deal about you. And thanks for taking the time to post a great new location!

Thank you for putting this mystery to a rest, this room has baffled me for quite some time ever since I stepped into that room.

Also, it might be noted that the direct center of the circle has an entire pulley system set up - most likely the UV light could be raised and lowered for different intensities.

Thanks for the wonderful gallery, Mr Motts! Everyone kind of beat me to the punch here, but I'd also like to say that you were sorely missed and that I hope all is well :)

It's strange and a little unsettling that they just leave old records in these buildings. Isn't there some kind of privacy protection law against that? I

You should see the inside

Creepy and beautiful at the same time.....I love the shadows in this shot, too.

The soap dispenser is also a nice touch :)

Motts, wow are all of the green things binders?? ... sorry im a file girl. charts are my life unfortunately. and im intrigued whenever i find file rooms in abandoned buildings.
