Motts has made all us architectural critics, I think it's a good thing. I know Motts has forever changed the way I view , and appreciate architecture. I think these galleries and their discussion forums have enriched many of us. Thanks again Motts, i bet you never realized that you already are a "teacher/professor".

Thanks Motts, i have been checking in and out, i was so happy to see a new gallery up thank YOU!

HOLY CRAP!! I'm concentrating on these beautiful, haunting pictures, it's quiet in the house -- and two of my cats just got into a screaming match. Whew!! Their dinner is late and now I have to go change my underwear.

Another very fine gallery, Motts. Grazzi (is that the right word?)

That gate and fence is just beautiful. Is this a black & white picture, or infared? It has a kind of ethereal quality. The whole thing glows. Lovely.

so nice yet so sad......................ive learned that this place was been demolished....too bad it wasnt fixed up.

I remember the rooms having 3 beds...the patients had their own small space with their little bedside stand.usually with drawers...they'd have a family picture on a stand and some other smaller personnel things around but not much......there sure was not alot of privacy except for a curtain that hung from the ceiling.

It is a lovely, serene place, but I think I see what -B- is seeing about the trees. I can't think of any other way of describing it, either. Just 'odd' trees. And that ivy is really something!

Oh yea I remember this area too.......we'd being patients here for their therapy...but many did not want t get out of their wheelchair.

Its strange but I dont remember seeing this clown...Im happy about that LOL

Ive been in these areas too..they were always damp feeling & very creepy to me...we the students had to go on tours thru many different areas...many of which did NOT feel very cheerful at all.

It's not odd; it's just dead -- which adds a spooky element to the picture. That's a strange, flimsy little canopy thingy over the door. It almost looks like that area started out to be a porch and then they closed it in.

I remember walking down these very narrow hallways...when people were coming the opposite way it was a tight squeeze. These halls always seemed so creepy..esp going down to the lower floors

in the 80s it was a nursing home

This is sickening...Im guessing..teenagers with Nothing better to do than destroy things that are none of there business. I guess since I was in training at Broadacres and saw 1st hand how sad and lonley so many of the elderly people seemed to be..its always made me angry to see what the mindless..heartless jerks do.

This room has a monastic feel. It looks like it could have been a nice place to contemplate or meditate -- or something.
