Where did the bedside table go? Or am I thinking of a different room?

i woulda fallen threw with ma fat ass

Really beautiful pic.

Heavy smoke damage?

The funny thing is for some really psychotic patients those drugs don't do shit. & ECT/EST can be really beneficial in some cases, also lobotomies are still performed in some parts of the world, I think England being one of them.. but obviously in a more humane way.

What's the lettering say? Just the make/model (or whatever the hell it is on pianos)?

light pollution is terrible

Yes this was really a hospital,and the grounds and buildings were amazing. Drive through these large red brick toweres with tall maples,and manicared lawn right to the LongIsland sound. I lived in the town of kings park,and this hospital was in every persons life in one way or another. Yourpictures are beautiful its just a shame its so run down now.

So interesting. gotta have a little Christmas Spirit, even in an abandoned place!

Its a bedspring but really looks cool but I hate the thought of rusted metal

Dukane is still in the nurse call (and as mentioned by other posters, school PA) system business! Although the model shown here is LONG discontinued. The company is now owned by GE.

This is more of an intercom/call for help system than a paging system. A button on a cord (looks a lot like a ring-in button for a Jeopardy game show) plugs into the CALL CORD jack on the front of the station. The patient can hold it while they are in bed. When the patient needs a nurse, they push the button and the CALL light comes on. Outside their room above the door a light comes on as well. At the nurse's station there would be a master console so the nurse could communicate with the patient in the room.

The secrecy switch would allow the nurse at the nurse's station to talk into the room, but the nurse would not be able to listen in on the room.

Yes, I agree. You should have your work published. If I wasn't on a very small disability income, I'd send you a huge donation. You have real talent. Merry Christmas wishes to you. Please keep posting your galleries.

I agree with Larry D., the seats do appear to be in great shape. Great photo. I guess there was no danger of the upper balcony area collapsing?
