I spent a very long mind numbing, soul destroying and lonely time strapped to one of these gurney's there. I was 5, I think I was on it for a year or more it certainly felt it. Maybe this is the one. I was injured by a fellow child who assaulted me. Broken Neck.
MVH let me enlighten you. That simplicity and carelessness with files. That lax attitude is what gave cover to the lowlifes that abused children in this place and institutions all over the country. Technology has finally provided a solution to the "lost" records problem.
The hallway also looks familiar like it is either the school or maybe the Administrsation area. Man that color green was all over everything then. They evben tiled the main building up to 6 feet off the tiled floors with tiles that color. I hated it, the walls seemed so dirty all the time even tho they washed them down fairly often, they just seemed dirty.
Funny story, I got some paint a last year on sale and painted my interiors with it and halfway thru I realized it was the same color ! It didn't bother me tho. Looking at that picture my green is a lot less blue, phwoosh missed it by that much:-}
Looks like one of the classrooms. There was a lot of built in wood work all real nice quality like what you see there. it gave me some comfort in a very cold and ugly place to see the craftsmanship and look at the intriicacy's of the joinery. I tried to figure out how everything was put together. I wanted to be a carpenter.
That looks like the tunnel we used to go back and forth from the childrens shelter. each meal. we ate in the hospital. It was pretty run down then too. Mid 60's
I see a humidifier for an oxygen lead. Picture a large beaker of sterile water in the C with the top just above down on it. The a hose coming from the tube projecting from it. The pulley behind was probably the pump for the process.
I lived in that place. That picture has my skin all puckered up like goos flesh. It was an evil and horrible place for me. If anyone remembers the paralysed kid that was kept on a gurney in the hallway by the offices contact me please.
I have never heard of this place before i came upon this sight today. What a beautiful building, but very distressing on the inside. I understand motts that you break into the place to get your photos? Shame they dont open it up to public, or fix it up or something, to have it just lying in ruin makes no sence. I would love to hear from some of the poor people that have had to spend time there. Awesome pics motts
