Are those asbestos tiles on the floor?

The "ARE" makes me think this sticker refers to a facility program/policy, a reminder to the nurses of whatever it is the policy addresses. The facility where I work is currently transitioning to computerized charting, and there are posters everywhere saying "information secURITy" (emphasis on U R IT, you are it, you are the one responsible for protecting our clients' health information)...this sticker seems to me like that sort of thing.

Boiler 1220,
I can't believe they are finally going to take down the building, I was just there and I didn't see any signs except no tresspassing, even thou I did it anyways. I swear to god when I went in there the 1st time a couple months ago my husband and I could hear voices of children screaming and banging on the windows, it was very erie... Shame on the world for locking us up and not giving us the chance to have a childhood....I honestly believes what goes around comes around and I pray that the staff members Jack,Harvery,Joanna and Melodee get what they have coming, they were not nice to us children on Ward D at all, they treated us like we were criminals and slaves and the degraded us all the time....I pray for any children that they might of had...

John,
I am sorry you don't have the means to get here,, because I totally agree with you , that a documentary should be done before the building gets torn down, I think the public needs to know what the hell went on in there and the abuse that we all suffered and maybe this would help others parents in aiding thier children now to not end up in places like this. We were kids, we weren't criminals, we were just kids and it breaks my hear t that we all had to endure this kind of treatment. But, I did meet the best of friends there, and I have never had any friends like the ones I had when I was there. I do keep in touch with a few of them and they are doing well in thier lives. The reason why places like this exist in this world is because there are adults who control kids minds and make them feel like they are all mentally screwed up & that we were a menance to sociiety and that we needed to be out of the public. I was told that I was not mentally stable to be out in the real world, that I had a personality disorder & had an out of control behavior. I skipped school for 4 days with a friend of mine and the next thing I know, I am locked up here. MY mother actually is the one who called DSS on me who called the courts and signed me away and awarded the state custody of me from the time I was 11 til I was 15yrs old. After I left there I had to go to a school for all girls in Arlington,Mass, it was runned by Nuns and there were a few regular staff members at the school, but, we lived in dorms and I had so much freedom and I didn't know what to do with it so I stayed in my room a lot cause that is what I was used to. I was finally able to go home but, the scars of Gaebler and St Germaine School still haunts me til this day. This society should be ashamed of themselves for what they did to us kids,...I will never get over what happened to me and what I witnessed being in Gaebler, but, I am grateful for one thing, the friends I made, they were the best...

lol, I wondered if anyone would get to the soap dispensers. :)

Canada, post secret was my first thought too!

go watch that ceiling in the moonlight...

ive seen that board erase and re written.....

there was chalk in there, i signed the board bottom right corner STZ

the lady that hung herself in that tower is a true story but never documented because she was and african american who was acused of being a witch and was condemed to death in the tower, there were reports of the tower being locked up and nailed shut for multiple years when the school was still being used and to this day there are thing in there that would make you agree with me, just be very very careful because the old rotten wooden tower is waiting for another victim

ive visited this school many times and have every reason to believe theres alot more in there then just old school equipment and cold air. i have also heard stories from some old timers in goshen about a priest shooting himself and another who held a boy against the big furnace in the basement until he was very badly burned. i have seen and read it all about this place but the only way to see for yourself is to go there at dusk and stay till dawn alone, no cameras, no recorders no nothing . go in the church and watch the paintings on the ceiling, in the day light you cant see anything, moonlight like a new painting..... just 1 of the many encounters ive hade

Прикольный форум, побольше-бы таких.

they look a bit like fever cabinets

I think its bein torn down...thats probab;y why another poster on the first picture said that a city worker said its open to contractors.

@opal-you're right! Nobody should put baby in the corner...babies are meant for warmth, love, and lots of cuddling! Can you tell that I love babies?! : )
