Behind these stalls was the visitors area. Parents etc. would come to view special events. As Cardinal Spellman walked up the center aisle in his long robes, my 4-year old brother whispered loudly, "Look Mom, that guy has no feet." The nuns sitting in those stalls had a hard time keeping straight faces.

Just discovered this site. The photos bring back a host of memories - like sneaking thru those gates down to the crypt & sliding down the fire escape chute & kneeling on those really hard chapel kneelers - and much, much more. How sorry I am that everything has been razed.

I think the opposite brian, we should keep buildings like this around as a reminder of what happened in the past.

Wow! I used to go to NYIT which was CI State Hospital and I can tell you that the abandoned buildings on campus were very creepy. Thanks for the pics

I'm surprised to see a wooden seclusion door. Most of the doors I have seen have been made out of steel and have plexiglas
covered with mesh window. Sorry if that last part sounds strange, I'm tired I guess.

I love the way the light casts shadows on the wall and gives it a blue hue. The perspective from inside is supurb and makes one feel that they are inside looking out. I have felt that many times btw.

Does anyone know why green is such a prevalent color in old decaying buildings? Is there some sort of chemical reaction taking place in the paint that makes it that way, or was that particular shade of green popular in a certain time period? I've seen this exact color in many deserted houses in south western Minnesota...
