BACK IN THE LATE 50S WE WOULD RENT A MOTORBOAT (OUTBOARD) AND MOTOR UP TO BANNERMANS ISLAND. A FEW TIMES WHEN WE GOT UP THE NERVE TO LAND, A SECURTIY GUARD (?) WOULD START YELLING AND THREW A FEW ROCKS. IT BECAME GREAT SPORT AND WERE REALLY ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE. NEVER DID GET TO LAND ON THE ISLAND THOUGH.

I think the old architects were really on to something when they specified so many large windows to let in sunlight. Not just for seasonal affective disorder (which wasn't recognized at the time) but for the general curative aspects of light. I remember one winter when I had a horrible case of bronchitis, but because I thought I might be pregnant (it turned out I was), I didn't want to take medications. It lingered for a couple of weeks. Then there was one of those too-rare days of perfect blue sky in the winter. I spent the day on the sofa with the sunlight pouring onto me from the window, and by evening my symptoms were gone. I know it's probably just a coincidence, but it did happen. And now the news is filled with stories of how we've become so aware of the dangers of UV rays that most of us are Vitamin D-deficient, and the doctors are recommending more time in the sun for children, just like Dr. Spock (the baby doc, not Spock from Star Trek) did all those years ago. I feel sad when I see new schools with those tiny energy-efficient windows that make them look more like prisons.

Most of it was pretty rotted out, I think it was all supply orders, inventory etc, not all too interesting.

Nothing too out of the ordinary...

DSH had a tuberculosis facility on campus, but its primary use was always a psychiatric hospital.

I think a few were still hooked into the grid a few years ago, but as far as I know most have no power at all.

I remember driving past the old missile site on the way here - look for

When a person with mental illness is charged with a crime, their mental state will be evaluated. If it is found that their thinking is so distorted that they did not know the difference between right and wrong at the time of the crime, they can be found "not guilty by reason of insanity." Different states use different terminology, including things like "guilty but insane," "not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect" or "not guilty by reason of diminished capacity" (this one usually applies to a person with mental retardation). After such a verdict, the person is sent to a forensic psychiatric unit instead of to prison.

Nature reclaiming her own

It always looks like the paint is trying escape

I don't think anyone should infer something sinister about an incinerator. Most large hospitals (psychiatric or general) have them.

This must have been a dayroom or some t ype of communal room for pts to socialize.

I can just picture in my mind patients looking through the mesh covered window into the "inner sanctum" of the nurse's station.
