my grandmother worked here as a nurse in the 50s. She said that this whole place was amazing... when ever i see a picture i just try and imagine it like it was still working... it must have been amazing.

this is in the hospital and theres another mourge in the lab.

well yeah obviously! i mean theres a door on a side but it leads to what looks like a kitchen. i was to end up in the good place at the hospital

it is not sick or creepy. i have a 42 year old sister who is very handicap and her bed is just like this.. and many nursing homes and special care home use them

WOW !!

The hooks on the wall look like they held mirrors and back then, they probably used regular bar soap.

I like arched doorways. They can make a plain room seem so elegant.

excellent excellent shot - makes u feel like ur some deranged patient lurking in the shadows ready to jump out on poor, unsuspecting urban explorers!

u wudnt catch me walkin down there thats far too dark and ominous for my liking! dont c the head on a rope though.

jeebus, I hate clowns. they're so creepy....

It looks like a scene from the Dr. Seuss movie the 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. i highly recomend it.

This place is welded shut, they didnt miss a spot! Its patrolled by state park rangers and the actual NY police. I just got back today and was almost arrested. We got in thru a single broken window with maybe a square foot to squeeze thru but someone saw us in the area. You can walk around the perimiter of the fence without anyone saying a word. 93 is a wonder to see!

ive been at night in the dark with my people to find ghost nothing was found went into four of the old buildings we where told it was haunted i did not see anything good luck ghost hunters

When did you live there? My mother, Rosemary (Payne) Littrell became a patient there when I was 1 or 1 1/2 years old. She died there two months after my 3rd birthday(Oct. 1947). I would love to hear from anyone who knew her. If I ever get to MD. (I live in AR. now) I would like to stop and take a picture of the front of the adult building. Can that be seen from the road without entering the grounds? I don't want to go inside. I have pictures of my mother in her room, also of her, other patients and nurses which look like they might have been on the roof or an upper terrace (look something like the picture of the children's terrace). I also have pictures of me standing on the lawn below my mother's window. My uncle drove a taxicab and drove the family to Glen Dale most Sundays. I was not allowed to go up, so someone stayed with me and later switch places with someone else. I only remember one visit. My mother had crocheted two dogs for me and threw them out her window, which of course she shouldn't have done, but I have never shown any sign of TB. My father did have it when I was in my freshman year of high school. They believe he got thegerms from my mother, but remained dormant until he had double pneumonia. They had made big improvements in the treatment of TB and though he entered the hospital in a dying condition he did get better and was released. I can be contacted at firstalohalea@hotmail.com.

I don't believe the bodies were cremated there. They would have been released to the families to be buried or cremated by the mortuary of their choice. My mother died there two months after my third birthday (Oct. 1947--Rosemary (Payne) Littrell. She was buried at Arlington National and was not cremated.
