Motts Thanks for another wonderful gallery to see everyday. Keep up the wonderful work you do.

Boy, look at all the hullabaloo over one label! Who knew it could be so much fun? It's common sense that mouth gags are always stored with the tap bells, no?

The tiled rooms are where the messy stuff happens. Lobotomies, etc.. Guts and blood splatters can be easily hosed off the walls.

Steam supply left on to go leak in long abandoned buildings? Your tax dollars hard at work! :o)

Drippings from above is my guess. Those rails are stainless steel. (Contains nickel)

Beware of zombies in this area.

A false ceiling has been removed. Yep Ferdy, what I thought too. Plank marks from the concrete forms. This is the only hospital that I can recall seeing the "cow catchers" all over to stop things from hitting the walls. In the TB hospitals, PTs were rolled outside in their beds often. Sleeping outside in cold night air had a beneficial effect.

This may predate the usage of "Doe" - and the person buried there may have been an indigent found long after the fact or even a Native American skeleton accidentally unearthed when someone was digging a well or root cellar, (and not knowing one way or another, the community re-buried the finding on consecrated ground out of respect just in case - anecdotal evidence indicates there are Neanderthal/Cro-Magnon remains in old European cemeteries when burial caves were mistaken for robbers dens and the bones of their victims - to be a good Christian was to see too it that the found remains were properly disposed of because nobody deserves to be scattered around in the wilderness.) It could also be the remains of a Revolutionary War soldier or murder victim hastily buried in a temporary unmarked grave, again found decades later and given a decent burial because to the community, to do otherwise would be unthinkable.

That towel was used to clean the sputum refuse chute, yes. It crawls around the place under it's own power.

Thnx once more for posting, Motts! Gr8t to see the historical write-ups too! Aerials from 2008 show numerous large abandoned buildings left on this complex to the NE of the originals, plus some residence homes in the woods. Perhaps you may wish to revisit this site if in the area.

It amazes me how you can capture such brilliant photographs with hardly any light. The sign of a true master!

Tuberculosis can affect many parts of the body, including the bones. Many people were left crippled from the effects of pulmonary TB.

Can you please make a wallpaper of this Motts?
It's a great pictue! Love the lighting and how the photograph seems to enhance the colors left in the room.

I've become a huge fan of this site. The past few weeks have been spent looking at all these galleries and now I can finally say, "Cool, a new gallery!"
