Lovely.

Just gorgeous - what a beautiful fireplace!!

Lovely photo with the sun glow in the other room just coming through the doorway.

Beautiful. I see that trees are growing in the roof gutters.

Wonderful photo. I wonder if glass blocks provide any insulating factor?

Looks very well made, it isn't even falling down.

Oh boy, a new gallery!! This is a gorgeous photo, and as Mr. Motts says, what a surprise to see turrets etc appearing out of the forest.

The stove was designed to burn coal, but could use wood as well. The gear mechanism is part of a rotating grate system that allows the coal "clinkers" to be periodically dumped into the ash pan using a hand crank. Spent coal forms these large masses that would fill up the firebox eventually. Wood burning stoves don't need this type of grate because wood will burn down to a fine light ash and easily pass through a fixed grate.

It appears almost prison-like. Very depressing :-(

My favorite shot of Taunton! I'm ready to settle in near the windows with a good book, a cool drink and relax. I can imagine how inviting it was here in it's time, looking out across the roadway and garden. Lovely photo! Thank you for the wallpaper!!

This breezeway is the best! This is the third time I've gone thru these photos (I come back to look again when I'm bored at work) and Taunton is one of my favorites. All that curved wood is incredible.
Hopefully some of this was salvaged. Such as waste to have it all destroyed :-(

I was referring to the top left side.

For those wanting to look at more mental institution stuff, there is a site titled Galleries and the pictures are taken by Jon Crispin. He has been given access to suitcases that people brought when they checked into a mental hospital. The cases are all that is left of the patients. The items have been preserved and they are maintained by the New York State Museum. It is interesting to see the contents. Hope you don't mind my giving this information Mr Motts. Please delete if you don't want it posted here.

So just for the heck of it I googled this model. It is still available and the new price is $4900.00. I found a used one on a site named PEMED for $1475.00. Just storing that is a waste of money, again.

Flushed, my nurses empathy is enraged at what was done to you. Your postings are always so professional sounding. I am amazed that after the mistreatment you received that you do not sound bitter. I am sorry for what was done to you. I wish there had been a nurse to stand up for you. Thanks for giving us a look at the atrocities you suffered. It can't be easy to talk about.
