is this the Motts chair shot

STAIRS

Wow, flashback, my father was a nursing supervisor there for many years, he also was the projectionist. I sat in that area to the left. Picture brought me right back to my childhood.

Actually it's not. The same system is still used today on airplanes in both general and military avation.

Interesting; I thought it was just a random can of household paint, but I suppose it could be automotive paint. The handwritten label reads "Azure Blue 1953."

Welcome back to the "D" Mr. Motts!
It's always great to check in to find a new gallery. Especially one that's
in my hometown :)

Im a huge automobile fan, its in my blood. Seeing the ruins of the car plants in Detroit makes my hart ache. Im not that far away and have friends here, best wishes to the city and its people.

Oohhh - it looks almost like some sort of alien life form has decended!

Azure blue was available on Packards in 1957 although this looks like Wedgwood blue - also available that year.

YAY - New Gallery; can´t stop smiling -
Thank you so much Mr. Motts, and for all the historical pictures too. (Lots of lamps.)

Yay First Post! Thanks for the new gallery Mr. Motts!

I feel ya, Jan Pinkowitz, I feel a deep compassion for you gaebler ex-patients, just as for all these sould who suffered and died in these mental institutions. I´ve been stuck in a sheltered workshop for years, for an mental illness wich I never had, and it was degrading, I know what its like. You guys will always have my commiseration.

If you're filming on campus without permission, yeah you'd be trespassing.

You could try to contact the hospital directly:
Connecticut Valley Hospital
P.O. Box 351, Middletown, CT 06457
PH: 860-262-5000 FAX: 860-262-5989

The campus consists of about 32 buildings; I believe most are still standing as of this year.
