i agree with SmarterPrimate, so i am going to guess that the table might be for a movie projector or small electric generator

The way the eyes are slanted and green with slit pupils makes it look completely evil, but if you cover the eyes up with your fingers or thumbs the doll looks adorable...lol

looks like there is a refridgerator under all that to the right

this place looks great,,if that was in Detroit people would dis-troy it bit by bit to sell, make a few penny's

love the light in the window

its not the mirror the walls bend

From the colors it could also have been an embalming room, or a place where they "harvested" organs for donors...

@FDNYMedic, lead doesn't float around in the air in it's solid form. It would have to be eaten like the flakes in lead paing

Thank you for the pictures of this hospital the screen in this picture must have been a psych ward or what is called a psych ward today. I worked in one years a go.

Symbolic,..for all of those,...that would want to make sure that those doors would never be looked do to evil. JUST PLAINED NEVER.

I worked in the Kitchen in the Summer for several years between 1979 and 1982. We made sauces and cooked vegetables in the kettles. We made the meals for the whole facility and some were fed in a cafe that was part of this building and the bedridden patients were fed in the buildings with delivery via a panel truck. The facilities were very clean and the food was of very good quality. It wasn't as bad a life as people think for the patients. They had gardens to tend and exercise facilities. Some of the patients were abandoned by families and this was the only real home and community they knew. When they were cut loose and sent into the community many were just plain lost souls at that point. My sisters also worked in the Laundry facility.

they watched over the patients, some in despair,..the nurse that would want to fight against the wrong doing would have to look the other way so not to lose her job,..for someone that had the stomach to watch the treatment.

the thin slat of wood was placed over the metal so that it would not frighten those that were going in. It was made to decieve them before they walked in. When they touched the door from the otherside, they realized the wieght and the construction of the door. As there eyes opened in fear of what would now happen to them behind that door once they knew they could not get out. Nothing was done to helo them,...they would have fun watching the abuse, making them think to themselves,...now they know not to ever do bad or drug,...then things like that wouldn't happen. They were at their mercy of bad treatments. the words Merry Christmas and Happy New Year were placed as what they knew it would never be for the victims,..and the evil unbalanced pleasure the so call staff would enjoy. They should have wrote on that door,.."WHO REALLY IS THE SICK MINDED ONE"

I love the tree growing in the corner!

Great shot.

I'm drawn to abandoned places, too, especially those out here in western PA. Your site is great!!
