Motts, about how deep is that water? This picture is.playing games with my mind. This old subway is awesome i hope to see it one day. If its not gone already

Out of all of your pictures this one amazes me the most youre awesome

Gorgeous,motts

I believe much of the overcrowding was due to people "dumping" family members with conditions like Cerebral Palsey or Down's Syndrome, or Post Partum Depression, etc. I think it was quite easy to commit somebody back in the day.

Looks like the critters did not like the gurney and made a side track.

They were almost the best clam cakes in the world. The best are/were made at Flo's in Portsmouth. Anybody remember Jolly Charley's (sp?) hamburger stand in East Greeewich near Goddard Park?

looks as though the room was once green under that yellow paint

There seems to be a rised platform at one end, making it either one of three things, An operation room, a theater if some sort, or some kind of recreational room

Perhaps this was a workers break room, where they could smoke or eat and enjoy the air and not erritate patients, or a workers entrance entrance

I am suprised that nobody has really commented on how new and intact this hallway is, it feels as though a nurse or patient could walk out of anyone of those rooms on a second. I also wounder at what the small door on the left side of the hall was used for

Seeing as how the black brick trim suddenly stops at one side and reappears through the partually made hole, i want to say that the wall was constructed over a door-eather leading to some kind of room or another ward

I spent 6 yrs in the KSH childrens unit, as a patient. It opened about 1960, We were told that the building was origionally the Mary Muff TB hospital. We were very well treated, and I I attended Kazoo Central HS while a patient. This is not the building I lived in, is anyone familiar with the Mary Muff building?

I looks as thought that door has been boarded up for a while seeing the cleaner flowered wall paper on the lower boards that doesn't match the 'newer' peeling paper, though bits of the older flowered paper can be seen coming through the paper by the window

Me and my friends have been to glenndale MULTIPLE times and its actually a very peaceful place in a way; its sad though how vandalized it is. I have several pictures of me actually standing on this stage in my phone. I hope they never tear these buildings down, they have so many untold stories.

i wonder if that is a family crest above the topmost window
