There's something about a tattered curtain that speaks volumes of what this room once was and will never be.

:) Here I am...

Got busy again but I had to make time to check this out (I peeked at this gallery the other day)...

What a quaint little building.

I see the railings are gone, which makes me wonder how ornate they were or was it just for the scrap value.

Lets see... a hive, a deflated punching bag, a pod, a prune, a fake wasp nest....this is so interesting and funny....lol. and no one mentioned a old dried up hemorrhoid... just had toooooooo! :)

About 13 years ago my ex husband and about 10 friends went up there on about different occasions. The place itself has many storys to tell. Broken dolls and bottles on the floor. Old bed frames still in some of the rooms. Alot of graffiti on the walls from passerbyers. The place had a reched smell to it. I was there during the day. Have many pics from it and it wasnt bad at all or creepy. But once enetered at night the whole scene changes within u. There are sounds u cant explain, cold spots and whispers. Once again it could just be wind blowing through cracks and rats or bats throughout the halls echoing but i think theres alot more there than has ever been told. A friend of mines reletive died there during the tuberculosis era and claimed of the abuse and torturing that went on there. Not only to patients but also to nurses. Her family members thought she was just losing her mind due to the illness but there was many claims of these incidents. Nurses commited suicide and so did patients. Body remains were destroyed in the incinertor. But I do not personally know if any of this is real.

There's a scene in the movie The Wolf Man...where Benecio Deltoro's character is strapped into this thing and is then dunked backwards into a giant hole thats filled with icy water. Its possible they used this one the exact same way.

OM-Goodness. The ride that you get on, that looked like a Ferris Wheel that had a steering wheel and the cart you sat in rotated. That ride was called The Skydiver. I loved this ride for two reasons. It was the ride I met the girl who tore me apart! And the from the top of this ride at night was incredible. I wonder whet happened to this ride after the park closed and the rides were auctioned off. I want to say this ride did not sell, it was too old and worn out in the early 90's. They may have scrapped this ride. Will have to search it up again and take a look.

Thanks for changing the title of this page to what it really is. Sorry so long between visits. LOL Gotta take a stroll down memory lane again soon.

Thank you Mr. Motts. I hope you never get tired of hearing that--because I never get tired of saying it.

It does look like a hornet's nest--or a large puffball fungus.

Are the colors in this shot a result of film temp. or lighting, or just a happy accident?

In any case, it's a great shot.

Ubiquitous soap dish.

I'd hate to have to fight a fire in an old structure like this. Too many places for fire to spread in the internal spaces and never be seen until a firefighter fell through the floor. Of course I'm guessing that is why the Feuer Wehr decided to let it burn.

Very captivating...could look at your pictures for hours

Not sure when I'd be in Dansville again.... who knows!

I haven't been back to Henryton; I think I enjoyed the odd duotone colors painted throughout the buildings the most, but as you say it's probably all behind spray paint these days. Thanks!
