This is a disgrace to human kind! One of my family members was there for years. She has hydrocyphalic. I pray her records not in those boxes. I would like her records- but how would I get them?

It is a condenser. It condenses the steam that leaves the turbine.

These are springs for the control valves there are typically four on top and four on the and feed steam into High Pressure section of the turbine. The Main Steam stop valves (usually 2) are further back and will close when the turbine trips off.

this biulding is full of energy ..from people/kids that died there from mental problems and staff abuse..its sad that they had taken those people's teeth out as a punishment for biting...

Ooooo, what does this button do? BA-ZAP!

The intestines of the building.

Human hands touched each & every brick during construction. One by one they were cemented in place by bricklayers.

Nature reclaiming what's hers. Resistance is futile. All will be assimilated.

I just don't get it. Why do these pin heads go into a building and trash it? Is their gene pool too shallow? Are they compensating for their genitals short comings? Sad, sad, sad.

I see this place hasn't changed at all. Same awe inspiring photography. A nice escape. Keep up the great work Mr Motts.

Gaebler is now gone...totally demolished by the City of Waltham as of December 30, 2010...at least they didn't sell it to Avalon Bay.

Rainbow (*pride*) radiator in a catholic boys' school.... lol :P

Mott, the topic was not about abortion, I was attempting to give validity to the racist agenda of eugenics here in America that you said: " I don't think U.S. eugenics at institutions were based on racism." Abortion is a product of Eugenics including the many mental institutions that developed. Eugenics initially preyed upon blacks, native Americans, and of the weak. Eugenics is a system that had been institutionalized. Many of the works of these institutions in my opinion did not know what they were apart of or the endgame. I'm sure many of them thought what they were doing was necessary. When I consider Pennhurst, I understand it's existence would never had been if it had not been for eugenics. This art work only confirms my intimations of racism. It's there for a reason and making a clear utterance.

@kristi
A) Those were some pretty rude comments about Jews
B) What's the use of a homeless shelter in the Catskills? That's just stupid. Homeless shelters need to be in urban areas, you know, so homeless people can actually get to them
C) Why do you want to shove the homeless into crumbling, asbestos-filled death traps? That's not very nice...

Is this is the same Pines Hotel that Art Spiegelman mentioned was near his father's bungalow in the Catskills in Maus (part II)??? I'm pretty sure it is.... interesting.
