Woah, what a difference time makes. I love the blues.

nada is correct. I was put into one of these rooms because another patient threw me into a brick wall. The day room area of the intake ward was just outside of the area of a room just like this one. I woke up with a big knot on my head and was told I had to wait to get permission before I was allowed out. The other patient had to stay in there for two days....I was glad !

Woahh! The layout is indeed eye catching!

Woahah, this is stunning. I love how palace-like it looks.

I believe this was the hall that led us all to the what we called the dinning room. Long lines of the different wards would be walking up and down the halls. By the way the food was typical institutional crap !

Amazing effect the light is having on the ceiling. It's beautiful. What a warming picture! And LOL Hallucinator, I love your GIFs xD

this was the entrance to the hall from the sleeping dorm. That place was a spooky place to be even while it was active. I had another patient try to burn my hair while I was lying in my bed. I was in the womens sleeping dorm. There were a lot of beds in the big room. They locked this door at night to keep us all in the dorm at night. When something creepy would happen it sometimes took a long time to unlock the door...I am glad this place is no longer in existence..........Yea!

Woah, I wonder how old those things are?? And yes, the the railings and the wobbly curvy banister is really neat.

these rooms were the lock-up rooms. This was where one would go if they were out of control...I was in one of these on C63 in late 1971 and part of 1972. I was thrown into a brick wall while I was playing cards. One minute the game was going well, then I got up to go to the bathroom and whammmmm....I was only about 110lbs.(female) and this big big guy let me have it. This was an intake ward so both sexes were on the ward. We usually slept in the dorm area at the end of the L shaped ward. Just a creepy note....Dr. Dukay,director or head shrink, killed his wife and then himself while I was in-patient there. I think it was in the Detroit news or Ypsilanti Press or one of the local papers that is how the patients found out about it. I bet he haunted us as we tried to sleep.....

WELCOME BACK MOTTSSSSSSSSS! Great to see another super gallery!

Yeah, I was thinking it was for plants with the lights underneath it. Not sure about the rug though. Seems like an odd place for a nice rug....just some thoughts.....

Yeah creepy is the word for it. Just think if you were the patient on the other side of that door & its nighttime and your trying to sleep & than you turn to the door & see these eyes staring at you......I wouldn't be able to sleep a wink.....just too creepy for me.....ugh.....

Yeah, I'd say time has not been kind to this building but than yet it could be alot worse like impassable....ceiling falling in etc. The mold & the ceiling look really bad.....ugh. It does have that kinda creepy vibe to it all.....esp being close to Halloween & all.....great pic Motts!!!

Its ok.....but I don't like it that those doors are painted white, even on the glass....to me thats kinda creepy. Can you think back to the days when this hallway & all the others in this hospital when have been busy with many people & patients. It really makes one think of what these people must have went through......ponder that is......

And so you think it's funny to vandalize a part of history, even if it is no longer standing? Child.
