Carousel horses go for a lot at auction. Older the better.
Some RARES are worth thousands +

I lived in Brentwood, NY until I was 12 yrs old. That was in the 1960's-early 70's. I can remember the school bus driving through the grounds of Pilrgrim State hosp on my way to NorthWest Elementry school. Whenever we drove through on the bus, my memory of patients screaming through the iron bars on the windows, and some very lost people sleeping on the bench seats throughout the grounds. That memory stays with me today, some 40 years later. Love to have a book on the whole history, and pictures of Pilgrim State Hosp. Does anyone know where I could find that? Pls let me know.

idk why they never added any gutters or something for the water to drain

it kinda looks like rust

this tv has been ripped apart rectley only thing thats left is the frame sadley

im pretty sure most of these are gone by now lol

yes these windows are totally melted not i saw a pic of a rubber chicken someone put on to it i guess who ever it was set it on fire

I have two kids that won't get out of the tub as I sit here viewing this gallery...and the first poster and this photo gave me an idea!! LOL
Here I come kids!!

OMG...I had that same stuffed raccoon when I was a kid!

Actually I still have mine; I don't mean that I owned THIS stuffed animal, but wow. When I saw the photo my jaw dropped and I shouted "Hey! That's my raccoon!" LOL

For what it's worth, I never bonded with him...I thought he was ugly, but because he was given to me by a relative I felt like I had to keep him on display. I still think he's ugly and I'm not sure why I've kept him all these years. I didn't even bother to name him, and I didn't play with him or hold him. I had other animals that I liked a lot better.

No way you'd ever get me to go near that edge. Klaz photo Motts. =]

The line in the middle of the walls is cool. It looks like it's curved, rather than 3 different walls.

all that power... wow!

That's where I fell and cut my arm!

Actually your commentor "Smurfy" back in 2006 was close to being correct. The lack of stimulation in color was thought, up through the mid-1900's to decrease violent outbursts in psych patients. Additionally, dark colors were though to create apathy in excitable patients. In the late 70's color alteration was then studied and used by law enforcement in their isolation cells in which "pink" (of all colors) was shown to decrease volinet and aggressive behavior in inmates, where blue was shown to increase it. Kudo's to Smurfy's earliest observation.
