Thank you for these pictures Mott. I just found out that my Grandfather was a patient here through the 1950's until he died (before I was born). It was all very hush hush and I am finally discovering the sad history that took place. I know very little as to why he was committed. I truly appreciate your pictures, they give me some sense as to what the place was like. You have a great gift for finding the beauty within the rubble.

Thanks, Motts. This is my new favorite place on the web.

This explains the dirty towel we seen earlier on the banister.

It looks like a couple of styrofoam coffee cups under the tornado thingy, I actually tried squinting real hard to read them to see where they were from.

I love the irony here.

I LOVE this one!

gosh, I really wonder what it must have been like to have gone to school there!

My bedroom is painted this green color. The people who lived here before must have liked it.

There in the hall on the wall is that pale hospital green shade of paint. And those very upscale stylish state- of -the- art -drop-ceiling panels.
Both are sure to get a fetch in the reality market.
Heck if it wasn't just abandoned I'd leave it just like this and scoop it up, and reuse it all, for one huge children 's activity center.
Just bring in your canned goods for a donation:

Infamous "last room on the left"...........

Were there bodies in the freezer? =D

Sorry, but there's absolutely NOTHING funny or comical regarding the death of a child......

No biggie if it does go - looks like the power lines are gone. *shrugs*

The door made me scream a little inside. It looks veeerrryyyy scary.

I saw a similar building on a book I once read. This reminds me of that book, which was about a teen girl being forced b y her father into an asylum out of fear she would end up like her mother. It makes me shiver to think that is what new patients saw....It seems so unwelcoming and cold.
