I agree with Toot, it's cool where the light from the windows hits. :)

My first job out of college was as a Recreation Therapist at Met State Hospital (1987) and the "cafeteria" was actually converted into the office area where about 12 of us "Rehab" staff were located. It looked nothing like this then, but it was kinda "eerie" (especially the bathroom area in the back. Wow, what a great site to stumble upon.

"strange purple ink"?? In 2nd/3rd grade, my teacher would use "ditto sheets" with that old typewriter font and the print was always purple. (the sheets were always dry, though, and I never smelled ink like plums, or anything else)

Love the perspective in this shot!

Really cool shot!

I do too, the colors are great.
Mr. Motts, were there any windows in those cells? There doesn't appear to be. I was just wondering if it was just this cell block or the entire place. (My claustrophobia is kicking in.....eeek!)

Loads of business mail for a place that size.

Aarrghh, time/cost prohibitive, my sock!!

SWEET mirrors, there. Way to make a restroom look interesting!

Ooo, neat, a slanted wall with a window in it! Probably that much easier to work with than my current house, where the stairs are in the middle and there's no hallway upstairs so I have a small boxy closet with a tilted floor-ceiling to the stairs.

heheh...I like this just because I get to actually see in and around a fancy or ordinary building without falling through a floor ;) The possible comments are what makes this site addictingly different.

Too bad!! ...Maybe at least the admin areas at the front of the Kirkbride would be good for something...as a reminder (like Avalon Bay Danvers) that ...Something Was Here.

Good Heavens, there really is a somewhat modern ...Soap Dispenser.

Why does this not seem to match the actual property layout around the medical building?

drawnaway-those toothbrushes on your site match the crumbling paint colors... !
