It kind of looks like a wedding band.

Creepy. Like something out of a film noir. Good use of black/white.

Pookie;
I was there back in the 1980's on ward E then again on ward A. They have records for gaebler (not dss records) at the main number to massachusetts mental health. Its in boston downtown you have to put in a written request and state why you want the records (put for new shrinks records) then they will send you a letter letting you know if your approved to get them and how much they are going to charge you. Sorry I don't have the exact address or phone #. I got mine about 5 yrs ago + I haven't been in mass since 1999. But I think they should have a website too. Mdmh(massachusetts dept. Mental health is who has the records.

I'd like to hope its just mould and rust

I like those lightshades, they look somewhat industrial.

An evil torture device to inflict pain and agony upon innocent victims.

My guess is that hung on the wall, and a ring was placed on the knobs to indicate the date. That, or they hung enema bags on it.

That is a row of clubs that the nurses used to discipline the inmates.

This place is infested with reform school zombie girls from hell. The best kind.

Does anyone remember the name of the Hotel across from the Pines Hotel?

Does anyone remember some of the regular entertainers like: Chi Chi Navarro, The Dancer and instructor Marty Arret, Bands like: Joe Cuba, Randy Carlos, Pacheco and more. I was one of the daughters of Chi Chi Navarro? These all played at the Pines Hotel and all the Hotels in the Catskills

Oddly enough, my first thought was, if you gotta puke, you don't have to get on your knees like you're praying to the porcelain god! (I admit, my sense of humor can sometimes be very... off.)

Also, being 4'10", if that WAS a crapper, I'd need a small ladder to use it.

Thanks, Dylan and Neariel. You got it just right. It's sarcastic humor, not a note from some poor child wishing for death, or whatever. It was originally from SNL. If you don't think it's funny, move along, but don't read so much into it.

Definitely not a helipad. Those are usually in fields or on the tops of buildings. If you look, though, the faded markings at the topmost of the asphalt pad look like it used to be a basketball court. So maybe the bullseye pattern was painted on for some sort of game.

The crib looks old, probably doesn't meet the updated standards for cribs nowadays. It's a beautiful piece, though and would look nice as an antique-y display. I'm pro-life, too, by the way... pro-keep-the-old-historic-places-alive, that is. Motts captures the last breaths of life in these old buildings with his camera... so he's my hero.
