Wow,. The paint does make it look like there was someone violent locked in that room. Very eerie.
The hole is hard to concentrate on with all of the other things going on in this photograph.

i was one of the last residents there . i can tell u everything u need 2 no about the pics u took

Looks like "Silent Hill"-amazing shot!

Who doesn't love those old european concrete water towers? :)

Looks very military. Remembering that these were largely unfinished, when they were occupied by the military, they would have been finished in a spartan manner. Still icky, however...

There appears to be a ghost shadow for some wood stall framing above the toilets. When these buildings were taken for military use, those stalls might have been removed since the military custom at the time was for open toilets.

Spectacular! Amazing that this dark corner of history hasn't yet been sanitized.

Everything about this tableau is tragic.

a key is a very important item in a place that you are locked into.

Given the age of this sanatorium, one can only wonder at what horrible abuses occurred during the Hitlerzeit when "abnormal" children were routinely euthanized. Not saying any of that took place here but who knows?

The BCT is in flux right now as it appears and then disappears off the list of potential high speed rail hubs that are being proposed. If the BCT gets on the list, and the HSR plans for New York State are approved and funded, then it might be finally (!) fully renovated and opened for rail passengers. Stay tuned...

The Richardson Center Group has issued their plans to redevelop this property and restore most of the buildings on it. Soon, there will be an opportunity for anyone to come into these buildings and gain some sense of what HH Richardson had intended.

Daren and John.....can't wait to see the photos. John, I hope all this is helping you heal a little. My heart goes out to you
