Very ominous... looks like a door to another world!

I slept in the building at the end of that tunnel. (35 years ago) Still get the willies thinking about it! We used to walk thru them too. Good times!

It reminds me of the horroof germany

There were a few milk glass fixtures from the old days, however most of the lighting was replaced with fluorescent fixtures. Many of these may have been salvaged for replacements in other buildings.

thanks Mr. Motts for the great work you do! And please be careful.....we wouldnt want to see you hurt.....you are our doorway to the past!!

lol.....i thought it was a baby buggy! pretty neat tho.

Looking in the mirror at their new hairdo WAS shock therapy!

The better to torture you with my dear. . .

Pretty powerful stuff Roy, thank you! Really makes you think.

I notice the lack of any lighting fixtures on the ceiling, how did they light this place?

Some are homeless, others went into "residential" homes with other people who can't take care of themselves and the rest I imagine just walk among us. It was a shame that they de-institutionalized these places because yes, they did cause a lot of people to become "displaced". And for what? Just to let the buildings remain empty and rot. Seems to me they could have made better decisions so that so many people weren't effected. As for these cribs, they're pretty neat, I would sleep in one!! (with a fresh mattress of course)

For the life of me I can't understand why half of these buildings were abandoned...

Love the floor...

I've seen cribs on functioning mental wards for adults. Mostly it's for women diagnosed with severe post partum depression. They treat the mother and the baby together, even though the mother is who's crazy.

Now I remember why I stopped visiting this site ages ago. Because the shear volume of awesome pictures melts my brain!!!
