Just shows how barbaric we treated individuals , even now I think its done.

Thanks for all the updates on this school building. I hate it that old buildings are slowly going away....its sad when they aren't used for other purposes than just left to die a slow death.....keep us updated ok....Pat.....I love reading everyone's comments esp former students and teachers etc......very interesting .......Thanks so much!!

Are you guys seriously not considering the fact that institutionalized youth are capable of getting pregnant? Or do you really believe that babies get institutionalized? Seriously, think.

Did you notice the white ceramic "outhouse" type toilet beside the sink - basically a hole in a white ceramic base which the inmate had to sit on. I don't see any flusher knob or lever so I guess the waste just fell down the hole, like an outhouse. That's what it looks like to me anyway. All your photos are superb.

We need a seclusion room in the office where I work ~

i like when people share there stories of going to this school it really adds to how amazing this is

this is a beautiful pic its very tragic what happend to the little boy after reading the article its hard to belive it was an accident

When we look at old photographs of abandoned institutions we think about how depressing and lonely the solitary rooms are. We often forget that outside of those metal bars and padded walls there are people living lives more lonely than this ever could be.

very cool, Motts.

The missing item above the handle has left a shadow in the wood in the shape of a crown - the crown symbol is often used to signify royalty or something by royal order (like on mustard or coats or something from, say, Harrods Department store in London, and under the crown it might say something like By Order of Her Majesty the Queen, xx (name of company) is the royal supplier of mustard or whatever the good is. I have a suede coat with this patch stitched inside.
