The black stuff looks really similar to pictures I had seen of the inside of a house after it had caught fire. There were things resembling huge black spiderwebs everywhere inside because of how the air was circulating or something, but I doubt this is actually the result of a fire, just reminds me of that.

I doubt the steam was ever piped around for uses other than heat. I'm sure the electric was generated here and sent by wire.

anyone notice the lights still work?

I was in one seclusion room that was like no other I had ever been in. It had a big window in the wall with a partition on the other side that could be easily moved aside by patients or staff. You would be given a bedpan to squat over and pee in on the floor like a dog. When I was on the other side of the window i never knew what the patient locked up needed more, human contact or privacy to pee or shit. By the way, some people have been put in seclusion rooms so depressed and lonely that they have suicided. I don't think seclusion rooms are designed for particular populations like "spitters".

The roof is in good shape those are relatively new dimensional shingles, straight hip caps as well. very steep slope another reason for the good condition

Kisses! She is too cute....

Loves!

Lots O' eyes...

LOVE IT!

the lighting reminds me of the Northern Lights...

Man vs Nature....

I was just on the grounds today, all that is still standing is the chapel and graveyards. My dad worked there in the late 70's/early 80's as a custodian. He does not have very nice things to say about it.

that engine looks like a enterprise and it is not common rail GM DD /
EMD / cummigs have common rail fuel systems and all moden engines after that

Thank you for these pictures. While I would not encourage anyone to go again it is nice to have such artistic and beautiful pictures of a historic place. Every year I drive by this hospital to go to a friend's house and I beg my mom to take us in the daylight so I can see the hospital. I'm absolutely in love with it. That's how I found these pictures. I've never been inside and never will go inside unless it becomes legal so thank you for providing these pictures so I know a little bit of whats inside.

I hope someday you & others subjected to this abuse can find some sort of peace @flushed. I look at comments on Opacity daily and caught your response. My thoughts are with you.
