How in the world you got into this place is beyond me. I lived in that area for about 25 years and I know the security that surrounded this place. Asbestos, I've heard, was terrible in these buildings.
Wonderful photographs. I'm glad I got a glimpse of what it looks like in these buildings after 30 years of wondering...Let alone not having the balls, *ahem I mean, guts to go in these places.

Thanks, I'm here; I just have been really busy working and unfortunately the website has to take a back seat (so I can pay for the hosting :-)

I don't recall finding a pipe organ in there - I don't think I really poked around a lot backstage though. It was super hot and humid, and the pigeon feces were really rank, so we made this trip quick.

It's not a rural location, that's for sure - a greenbelt surrounds the campus.

I don't think they allow anyone into these buildings, as they are condemned. I think I remember the theater being used for that...

Not all graffiti artists are vandals, and not all vandals are graffiti artists. It is more complex than you make it seem, and has a unique meaning to each person putting up their name. While I can't defend or condone the distasteful and unskillful graf in this particular shot and some others from here, the essence of graffiti is expression and art. It does add history just in a different way. The history of this place as an Asylum is long over. This is just another era.
