Wonderful work once again! Thank you for your work.

Awesome. Maybe at one point, these bed frames were intended to be re-used, but apparently they've been completely forgotten beneath their plastic shrouds.

Scenes like this are what keeps me coming back over and over, totally infatuated with urban exploration!

Oh wow, I am in love with this shot. The ever-enchanting hallway, yet slanting at an intriguing angle.

Not to be picky, but it's spelled "Crescent." Love you, Motts!!!

Ummm... probably not. Heheh....

Wow... what so many others would overlook, Motts finds. Your ability to accentuate the beauty in the tiniest details is one of your greatest talents.

Really... looking at that, what was the point of a fire door when the room directly to the left is wide open?

I wonder if that towel was used for cleaning, then just lsft there. It seems like it would be germ infested with someting. I would not want to touch it

can anybody feel and imagine the dispair and painfull energy trap in to those walls ............

i came across a potable pickers u.s. miltary unit. cat number f-12. Is there anyone interested in purchasing them or know of a museum or other who would be interested in such machines. please e mail me at bryanmikulan@yahoo.com

'Inviting the cold'...I love your poetic description of this place in the intro. You are gifted in prose as well as photos, Sir Tom. : )

Remind me NOT to take scuba diving lessons here! ; )

The building should be cleaned up a bit and taken care of. Maybe it could even be open to the public at some point. Not so much as a tourist location, but moreso to educate people of the history behind BMH. It's absolutely breath-taking to be there and to walk the same halls that so many others have before you, whether that be a teenager the week before, a faculty member in 1970, or an "inmate" from 1940.

However, this photo depicts something much more sad than simply a morgue--the graffiti itself is horrible. Sure, it's cool to leave your mark, but is it really necessary to vandalize something with so much history? Honestly, it's just so pointless to me.

I worked at Letchworth for 14 years. Did several jobs. To see these photos brings back many memories. Good and bad.Many of the residents there were just homeless,and were stuck in there. others needed to be there.When I started working there it was very overcrowded. There were 4,000 residents. As time went by, the population was reduced.The scariest place was walking through the tunnels under the buildings. Myself and several coworkers did it, in mid winter, and it must have been 100 degrees, due to steam pipes located in there. In the tunnels were traps, with dead cats in them. What horrible sight! Letchworth had an out of control cat population, so I guess they tried to control it by trapping them. The best memory was the friends I made up there, residents and coworkers alike.Memories that will last a lifetime. Sad to see it now abandoned and over grown with vegetation.
