Another skull cap cutter used for the lobotomies. High speed saws in that thing zip the tops of the skulls right off. Patients would suck for that old phony "hair dryer" trick every time.

Believe what you want. It's not uncommon for fire departments here to train in buildings that will soon be demolished. Same goes with police departments. This buildings WAS big and would serve as a better realistic training building than a "state-of-the-art" shooting range with automatic target placements on a rail.

One man spent his entire life at Willard for kicking a garbage can in anger on a city sidewalk. The record was a woman who spent 75 years there. Look for "Ten Days in a Mad-House" by Nellie Bly to read a very incredible story. A young lady of phenomenal courage.

IMO, roles at many institutions were padded however possible to attract increased funding. It seems that skimming and kickbacks were common for the commissioners and directors as coal deliveries were shorted and premium prices were charged for spoiled food delivered by vendors, etc..

Looks like a zombie child ID chart. The one in the foreground is in attack mode and wants some brains to eat. Almost looks like Kim Jung Il.

Hi Lucie! My first guess would be zombies, absolutely. The bodies of intruders are dragged down that hallway by the zombies and stored for future meals!

Another outstanding set of works. Your timely preservation of these architectural cast-offs is very well done.

The rats would normally move along the baseboard in an occupied building. There's nothing here to disturb them; they've nothing to fear.

I live in Baton Rouge, about an hour away from New Orleans, depending how fast you drive. We have so many people that are from New Orleans that were Katrina victims as their stilll called. In fact I was at the Superdome setting up for Earth Wind and Fire and Chicago the Monday before Katrina hit. I remember when it hit, total caos insued. I had a friend stuck on his roof for two weeks, there were alligators swimming up in the middle of the night and pulling people and surviving pets into the water. It was so scary not knowing where your friends and family form there were.
