I have the same machine and it is ashame that one has been abandoned.. Do you have any information on the matron that opened the school? My family is from that part of the world and I was wondering if there was any connection...

Great site, beautiful pics, I have been so intrigued by PS I too have taken pics (outside! Dont have the nerve to go in!!!). But these visuals are stunning,

Mom worked at KP for years, I was always terrified of it, and admittedly and sadly of the mentally ill as well. I guess I grew up hearing real horror stories and they impressed me.

As far as Andrew is concerned, I think I know him. His post was written in 2005, and if its the kid I know, he would now be 20-21. Destructive, sick, and yes, most definitely belongs on the "other side of the key" as someone stated. Sadly we sometimes forget that people who are mentally ill have very few places to turn these days and prescriptions only help so much.

Oh, heres a thought... when KP and PS closed most /all of their doors, I was told by Mom (long time KP employee until 94ish) that the state literally bussed out the patients. Loaded them on a NYC bound bus and dumped them in NYC, with pratically nothing. (Hence the high population of mentally ill homeless)... ever wonder if they try to make it back "home"? Not something I would want to run into during my urban exploration... I guess that why Ive been too chicken to go inside.

Motts, great pics, beautiful work. Stay safe.

More hotels!

A sunny chair that once enjoyed the roof,
now relegated to the dregs of the lowest level.

I wonder if some architect was such a history buff...can't imagine a scenic NY health spa being besieged.

if there was "gingerbread" woodwork in all those doors like screen doors on Victorian houses, that would have been spectacular!

(wonders how/ why the doors were styled)

(Renaissance womens' costume shelf-bra?)
SOMEBODY needs to make another trip here for the interior, seeing as he lives in NY!!

talking-it-out-chairs: "Unable To Discuss Problem", or "problems solved"?

push-button light switch-1930s or so, have a few at my house.

I'd be staring at the top of the wall nonstop to get away from the pink or green.

We don't see patterned tile like that too often, it's usually just a checkerboard.

it looks like a pic of robert duvall as mccall in lonesome dove

oh here you are, Cookie!

I am seriously thinkin about going up to CT , and cleaning that room out. That green box of pampers goes for like 300 bucks in the diaper fetish market!
