Are those doorways in the background?
They dont look too wide.

this one is awesome... tunnelvision

The tower looks rather featureless

The ceiling looks like its made of stone.

Looks like this place is in a nice setting.

Motts, were those just decorative, or were they meant to be able to withstand someone sitting out on them? I can't imagine having windows where people could just get out them that easily considering what the building was used for....

holy crap, that's a dizzying perspective....

That banister doesn't look like it could hold much weight

Do the lables have patients names on them?

Perhaps filled with liquified ....... :(

cool gallery. Thanks

nice

FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

why thanks nancy...i probably don't deserve that high a praise though, as
i was one like everyone else in and from Millbrook who kind of let all this happen, really...
but, saving places like these is HARD, and Almost always impossible. Motts SO fuckin Rocks for reminding us, but also for
giving us a little glimmer, in the loss, of the things that last forever ...

That national economic circumstances kiboshed the condo mania
that was proposed for the site, at least, is good for Millbrook, in my opinion.
Very little of that proposal would have gone to local contractors, and if
so, then the usual suspects. Anyone who denies this... welll...
actually, you probably know where to reach me, lol.....so, whatever...

Resulting business for the village from the temporary jobs would spike a bit, but not long before the village as a municipality would
see insane, Westchester-like inflation of taxes to pay for the state mandated infrastructure, education, etc. required upon the
new expansion of the village population. It is SO such a diminishing
return..at least this specific proposal for this specific town..


Do we have to ruin everywhere? Are there some places where we can just say no to making sure it becomes just like everywhere else?
Can we just let some fucking places BE, Voluntarily!?

Don't worry, eventually Millbrook will face this same scenario all over again. This developer, that developer. This mayor, that mayor.
I have watched it go on for decades.

I have watched this place be used over and over again in collusion by players in local government, banking, and real estate, to further their own agendas.
over half the time their scenarios go down in oblivion, but it never seems to stop them from hitching up again. I continue to be amazed at how much even I underestimate them all.

Honestly, other than letting it beautifully rot forever, i wouldn't mind
watching it explode , like something out of a Ridley Scott movie.
To smithereens, like they say. That would be cool.

this image could totally be the front cover of a post rock record. really eerie place, we don't seem to have any abandoned villages in the UK.

That tube shaped thing at the bottom left looks exactly like an old cake decorator I used to have. Put the frosting in the tube part and your two fingers go through the two round parts and then you push on the center thing, viola. . . frosting comes out the other end through a fancy tip. What on earth could they have used this for?
