Some one forgot to wipe there ass Lol.

Motts I Love the pic! exp the Worcester State Hospital it is sad and haunted. love your site

that must be some dangerous laundry!

Exactly like what Ellis said depending on the time period because the mentaly ill were viewed as evil or possesed so they would be sent to an asylum and spend their life there. They would be locked away abused and tortured because people of that time really thought that mentally ill people were being used by the devil so they would be killed and burried near or in the asylum

Maybe the spider was what they were trying to preserve... it needed it's space.

Cynder, we're in the same boat.

Another gorgeous gallery, Motts. Thank you for visiting so many of the forgotten places of Pennsylvania's history...and thank you especially for bringing the memories back to share with us. This Pennsylvanian, for one, is grateful to you. ♥

Amazing gallery, thank you.

I agree with both Confess and Canada - the weathering effects on the outside of the building really do make it look like it's crying (which my tender heart thinks many of these abandoned places would be doing if they could), and also that the broken windows look like knocked-out teeth. Gives the effect of the building as a "being" of some sort! Pretty cool.

Beautiful! I love the hazy sky behind the building.

I love the perspective of following that pipe and looking down, down, down toward the bottom. Wow.

You know we REALLY want to know now what happened at the other location. ;)

That would be one heck of a slide!

And oh gosh, how I love the green of Pennsylvania, even on a hazy day. (Motts, I know quite well how flamingly, humidly, hazily, horribly hot PA is in August!) Although this area was torn up years ago for this factory and the rail line to be built, nature seems to have returned victorious - as she nearly always does - and is doing quite well. It's still a desolate place, but there's an interesting kind of beauty to it, I think.

Canada, I had the same thought. I wonder why they needed a set of spotlights on top of a coal breaker? External lights for outdoor safety, sure. But these? Hmmm.

Also, what ledge did you crawl out on to get this shot, Motts? Oh my.

I have an intense amount of pride in my home state...I think the countryside of PA is some of the most beautiful anywhere. I'm glad to see you've captured it here in this very intriguing photo! It makes me lightheaded at the height, but I'm sure it was worth it for such a beautiful view! :)
