Quite the difference between this prison & Lorton Reformatory.

The windows on the north side looked out over the recreation yard and the inmates were able to roam freely between the cells and the floor to ceiling bars.

The colors & textures are spectacular.

The bunks were folded up when the cell was not occupied. It would be hard to fold up when your mattress and bedding were in place. Give the inmate more room? Ha!

The bars were cut and removed for use in the new Y.C.P. on Concord Rd.

My wife and I have two of thoso tubs in our house right now. One is vintage, the other is fiberglass purchased at Lowe's recently. The shot titled "Seeing Stars" brings back memories. The area just to the right of the cell door is where the bunks are located.

Hello Mr. Motts. Are you alive? Its been 15 days since you updated the home page. And I Hope that you are alive and well and that nothing has happend to you!

And, about this photo. I hope that this is what i see that day i see the light ind the end of the tunnel. Great shot!

ive lived in wilkes barre for all my life [ 20 years] && ive always wanted to see inside the Hotel Sterling. I wish I could find pictures when everything was new but im having such a hard time. I never knew how popular this Hotel is, still, 114 years after it opened. if anyone knows of any websites with old, old photos of the H. Sterling, contact me on facebook search: ashley miller. these are amazing pictures, thanks for posting them :)

This is more than elementary art on the wall. The display is mid-century automation and process control technology and part of the analog controls on the control panel in the foreground. Integrated with the brew equipment and sensors, etc, it helped them monitor and control their manufacturing process, lighting up tempeature and pressure alarms on the display, open and closed valves, etc - showing the operators the status of their batches. Brewing beer involves pretty sophisticated chemical processes.Changing something on the control panel would result in a change on the production line, and cause a change in the graphical display of their process on the wall. Today, in a modern brewery, this is displayed on a computer monitor.

my great-grandmother gave birth to my great-aunt and great-uncle, twins. later, she found out my great-uncle eugene was mentally handicapped. retarded. the doctors said that she should send him away and forget about him. luckily, she didn't. she raised him on the family farm. i don't have many memories of him. just a couple. we spent time when i was young coloring and painting together. he died at home, in his sleep in the late 80's.

today, he simply would be labeled as slow or delayed. i don't know how to describe how i feel looking at these photos and think that he could have lived his life at a place like this, not knowing what a real family would have been like. i'm glad my great-grandma stood up for what was truly like. and at the same time, i feel sad for the children who didn't have that chance.

just for the sake of argument,
in response to your 8 words: it wouldnt make a difference i I did
"personal responsability" taken by ones self not cast by others
"wow"-thats what I thought!
Sure thing-you too ;)

You have to do a wallpaper with this shot

I just need to second what Larry D said, I miss Lynne too! I have loved reading her comments! I don't suppose anyone knows where she is...
