Dennis,
Thanks, I didn't think the DQ was still there, but just wanted to check.

Pookie, sent you a message on facebook.

me and a couple of my friends were in this hallway and we got inthe middle and we just heard a lil girl scream to the top of her lungs. we ran out terrified

They were planning on filming Shutter Island here recently, but plans fell through. They weren't able to because filming would have gone on while demoliton was also. It's a shame.

As a high school graduation gift in 1967, my parents let me go along with my friend's family to Sunnycroft for a week. I was a very wild time for a naive 16 year old from Queens & I just LOVED it! I recognize alot of the old names mentioned here in this blog & I bet I have a few pictures I'll have to dig out. Years later, Annette & I spent quite a bit of time together...She was pregnant with Jamie, I was pregnant with Megan & Lorraine Romeo was pregnant with Renee - we ate our way through the Orange County Fair that year. Annette - I'd love to re-connect...find me @ dbcranch.com.....

Yeah its a great stairs shot Motts as usual. Those banisters looked beautiful ....its a shame that so many of them are gone. Destruction is so sad.......

Happy 4th of July, Mr. Motts and to everyone out there! God Bless America and God Bless all our troops who protect our Freedom in this wonderful country! : )

@Frazmataz-That's really sad about your great grandfather-mental illness is a very sad and scary condition.

all kinds of awesome!

I had a great grandfather who lived and died in one of the wards here. We still don't know what he did to get in there, but my uncle said that when his mother went to visit him and took him, he (uncle) would hear screaming, moaning, and gibberish as he waited at the nurse's station. Scary.

Is it me or do you see a person in the sheets. Pennhurst looks so sad and cold I feel so sad for the people who were forced to live here. : [

They probaly felt like they were caged animals.
