You can't really pinpoint a day, it took a month and a half to bring that beast down. and thats NOT including the abatement which took about two months...
this is a very cool place i live in staten island and ive climbed onto these ships a week ago im going to go back and bring a camera in the cabins you find old rotten mattresses old pots and pans
Looking at this again, I don't notice any signs of HVAC or steam heat. I would think that a 200 yard hallway where the walls are mostly single pane glass would get pretty chilly in a Michigan winter.
Not sure if its of any relevance, but the 2nd rom nearest sink has no taps, or whatever it is the rest have, and the bit in the middle is missing as if they were removed.
i've stood there and it makes me so sad to know that its all gone. we spent the night there once in highschool on a dare and as creepy as it was it was an amazing building and we forgot to be scared when we started walking around checking things out. it had more of a feeling of intense sadness than anything creepy.
i've been lurking here for quite a while and finally decided to leave a comment. as a criminal justice major i can understand the patients fears of living on the outside world after so many years of living inside. its a problem we study, how to help long time prisoners cope with moving into the outside world and living there. even people who have only served a few short years have trouble readjusting back into society. imagine suffering from a mental illness or some other condition that incapacitated you and being expected to learn how to live outside the hospital after spending perhaps the better part of your life there!
Both my step parents worked in building 25 from 1955 to 1975. I worked as an assistant cook in building 25 from 1963 to 1964 under a head cook by the name of Schreck. Looking at this stuff brings back wierd memories!!!
