Thanks for the insight Roy!! It does matter!!

Just think all the people that used to be here...this was home....its sad too.....really....very sad.....

Great pic Motts. All those colors & peeling paint to boot.....wow....thats a first to see a game painted on the floor.....very interesting to say the least........very interesting.......and of course to see all the open doors too......all cool.....

You make it seem so dream like, this is incredible

Yeah I'm thinking it looks like a magazine cut out of some kind....but who knows....only the person that taped it there many many yrs ago.....

Misty: I often wonder what has happend to many of the patients in these places as well....its very sad to think about. I'm sure some of them had no where to go....To many of them that was there only home. It really does make one think doesn't it......

Yeah Motts I also agree its nice that you got to go back to a place you've previously went too. I wish you could do that with others esp maybe Pennhurst again? I'll love anything from you.....its awesome!!

Dome/blown, neato

Hmmm, I think there might have been some slave labor going on. Perhaps a little extra coins in the pockets of the powers that be?

I can't imagine a world with so many institutions housing the sick. While these places become relics, what happened to the inhabitants? Once they were too sick to walk the streets, but now due to financial issues become faces in the crowd. In this area (West) many of the state hospitals just released the patients out into the general public when budget cuts forced hospitals to close.

my brain hurts o_o
I meant to say Landscape Orientation

I'm sure this place had a bad energy about it, is that true?

I agree Grace, while looking through this I was actually thinking the same thing. But then I realized maybe too many patients were dying and they didn't really have a lot of time to bother putting names on the gravestones.

I wish that there were some kind of agency that would study these buildings while they are still in use to see if they can be transformed into somthing else, to lose such amazingly beautiful buildings is so sad! Imagine how many trees and stuff that would save if we could recycle these buildings!

Thanks for the revisit Motts.
Great gallery!
