Definitely a food tray and silverware cart. We have the exact same kind at our elementary school.

I just had to make an entry somewhere with today's date being what it is.
I'm digging the couch.
it's beautiful......and these photos don't give me the willies like many others. I can kick back and enjoy the artistic merit instead of hiding my face behind a cushion. Thanks Motts (although, I love those heebie jeebie pics too)
looks like another couple of sleepless nights looking through these........!!

this place is so resident evil.
I love stair cases, this is such an amazing picture. Makes me want to be on that stair case!
Too bad it was demolished rather than renovated. Its a beautiful building. Thanks for the pictures, Motts.
I am amazed at its size. What a fun building to explore. What a life you have, Motts! I'm extraordinarily jealous!
This structure is huge...even with part of it gone!
I think I have a new favorite! This building is amazing, and astounding pictures as usual. Motts. Thank you so much for sharing.
Just came across this site. It is my new favorite! I could spend endless hours looking at the astonishing pictures. This is one of my favorite buildings so far. Just beautiful.

The number of bodies interred at Hart Island far outweigh anything from a psychiatric hospital, so I could imagine the state spending money on a decent casket every so often.

Apologies for the vague statement, the wooden boxes which contained the caskets were nailed shut, not the actual coffins. On a return trip, someone had opened a box up, and the casket inside was brand new and still wrapped in plastic; the exterior had a soft velour texture to it.

I was here on Sunday... obeying the law and standing out on the public road, but I managed to take pictures of the locked fence and some of the building.

After I did, something pushed the camera out of my hands and broke the lens, but 'they' didn't break my memory card. :(
