It looks like the frame of the sky lite once had paintings surrounding it as well. Must have been quite difficult to paint those.

Wow, is there really a patron saint of prisoners?

The door does look skinny when you look at the opening and the amount of wood under the hardware. Is it only a partial door? You can see brick behind it. On the other doors you could tell it was bigger than the opening, but this one looks odd.

I suspect the paintings were done in oil paint and the walls in latex. The oils would hold up better to the temperature changes that make the latex paints peel.

But when it fell, If no one was there to hear it...Did it make a sound?

I've been in the screen printing biz for over 30 years now, done just about every type of garment there is, including panties for "Vicky's"

Operation Theatre of the Damned

The chair stands alone. Still fighting to hold up the debris long after the war is lost.

Hi James Foley, Terrence Oneill. I don't know if you guys remember me i was a freshman and sophmore, you guys were sophmores and juniors when I was there. I left and went to another salesian school midway into my sophmore year. i quickly lost contact with my classmates. I've read a lot about things that happened after i left on line. You might remember tall John Fitzgibbons. He told me some things. and i read about Father Mcormick. i have occasional random dreams about my good memories there. i Too am a retired military man. is it coincidense?

Love the shadow like its a wing! Very cool

Of all the Psychiatric Facilities on this site and ones I've seen irl, this is prolly the most disturbing.

I can just imagine the spectral images floating down these stairs and maybe even some banshee like wails of pain and terror accompanying them. CREEPY!

I love all of the pics and the info about this hospital. It is always both exciting and a little haunting to imagine what life was like in these abandoned places. Thank you so much for this inside look at this beautiful place.

Is it open to everyone???

very beautiful.. made my night!!

Wow what memories I have of this press room. I worked for Allied Products and South Bend Stamping for aprox 8 yrs. there wasn't a press I didn't work at. I ran them all. Became a die setter and later a Supervisor. bring a tear to my eye, the old days

Joe,
I joined the site so that you can PM me or post on the Isolation Hospital topic I started in the Opacity/Abandoned Related forum.
I've used the same handle.
