i like the leaves at the top of the picture.

reminds me of oysters

it was so different awhile ago. this building is a loading dock now. its a shame that they turned something so beautiful into something so ugly.

I've been in these buildings also, and i've read a lot about the hospital.

For all of you that think this was vandalism, it wasn't. the paint was not put on the walls while the buildings were abandoned. gennie's story is all throught one building and was written on the walls by gennie herself. she was one of the patients that was checked into the state hospital because she was abandoned by her family, and the state sent her there. she had no mental issues when she was first checked in. if you walk through the building, each one has the doctor's comments and a bit of gennie's own thinking after each one of her 14 shock therapy treatments. she was given the treatments because she was shy and the doctors found it to be a mental issue because she didn't talk. but in all reality, who would talk much if they were a sane person in a mental hospital?

gennie's building is one of the 3 of 60 buildings that are still left standing and haven't been renovated.

as for if they had intentions behind their treatment, probably, but it was most likely experimentation. the average amount of people that died from treatment in this hospital while it was open was 36 per month.

Looks like the elevator in my building. LOL

i graduated from Bennett in 1955. A small group of students lived in a small cottage on campus, White House. It was such a great time in my life. Is white House still standing?

I think Snuggs is right. Nothing enigmatic about this device, and considering Leeds & Northrup's ongoing development (at the time) of industrial and commercial use electronics, this could have been a testing or R & D facility for their products...


...or not. Who really knows, right?
