Wow... This looks like another one of the high-speed pics snapped about a trillionth of a second after detonation of a nuclear device... Just outstanding imagery here...

I like this one... The entrance in shadow makes me think of the horse carriages pulling up with another involuntarily commited lunatic... Or maybe voluntary...

Wow... Don't comment on the panorama's (no offense), but this one deserves one... Composition is excellent, but while there is indeed a little blurriness, it is to me a bit grainy really... Again a great shot!!!

Has been preservered, YAY! Is now the Blackburn Inn, a fine hotel. Really magnificent, and hopefully survives the tourist downturn that we've faced this year.

This photograph could be used in the very beginning of a horror movie which has the plot of an insane asylum gone wrong in the 1980's.
The title of the film could be "Social Skills"
and at the bottom of the movie poster it would say "Social Kills".

I think this walkway isn't far from the site of the former K Building they tore down in the 1970's- close to Industry Hall pictured here.

Anybody know the name of the building, yet?

Woah... Truly excellent and eerie at the same time... Albeit a bit jarring in a weird sense as the IR filter puts the image in a sort of mismatched state... No fault of Mr. Kirsch of course. Just turned out that way...

Which building is this?

And there in the middle: A BEAUTIFUL HUGE HEAVY WOODEN TABLE, + a few pretty chairs......and many baskets with fruit&vegetables;, and a cat+dog, and even a few chicken.....I dream about this kitchen.

Them blue crosses was placed at the old Bryce cemetery in tuscaloosa.i help build them and put them there. They was put there because we did some research and found out that the patients was buried with no name on it only a number and I've heard that there are more than 1 to a grave and some are still under river rd we found a pill of markers in the woods

This is a truly stark yet beautiful image... Makes me want to listen to Welcome Home (Sanitarium) by Metallica...

That is indeed *not* a mimeograph... Those were much smaller and indeed that ink smelled so good... Which probably explains *quite* a lot... LOL!!! Of course in an alternate universe there probably was an outcry over the "Paper Sniffers" which led to its demise...

Looks like indeed a Linotype plate. Those machines are quite large. This more than likely was used to print a newspaper circulated around the asylum... It looks like it was indeed about someone undergoing a surgery and the word "winter" can be seen, leading me to conclude roughly this was used for an in-house newspaper.

That is one *scary* shot... The round windows look like eyes, and it reminds me big time of that house from the Amityville Horror. Not to mention it looks like its *daring* you to step across. This is the one main reason they try to keep people from exploring these places...
