a very nice flatwork ironer many of them still in use today.. this machine was built well into the 60s the model shown is from around th 40s

I used to work in a Cetre that housed the physically disabled, and people with slight mental disablities. There was a large room in one part, that had the same tiles 1/2 way up the walls that were the same as the ones on the floor, with a large drain all the way around - apparently, all those yrs ago they used to get hosed off. Thankfully things changed when I worked there - poor prople :(

mr motts i can say that you are truly a gifted young man keep up the great work sorry to say i have seen everything in your site and wish for more but like love art takes time.

no orb round eletrical outlet cover. sorry

It is interesting to think that the sun you see in this photo is the same sun that has shown down on well the whole world for ever and ever. I mean when this place was used as a war time building, the people who lived/worked there saw the same sun that the school children and staff saw and it is the same sun we see today. Kind of timeless, right?

haha ^ . so true.

Do the bums realize the place is riddled with asbestos? That's why they finally closed the place cuz everyone was getting sick...

if you look quickly, does anyone see something like a face peeking out from the little window in the door? on the left, like a tilted head, the eye being a bit below the upper left window corner?
of course, it's just the light or something

It really is pathetic the direction of the comments take.

The picture kinda takes a back seat to the morbid fascinations of misguided children... kinda sad. People need to grow up. Really.

By the way, the pictures are breathtaking. I applaud the photographer. The hospital is amazing, however it is kinda creepy, as is it's history but its something to be respected at the very least.

well, if I'm not mistaken, the "5 Points" refers to the 5 Point star to which The Bloods street gang affiliates themselves. Looks to me like it was a hangout.

here comes nurse Ratchet.........

What a beautiful ending....this gallery has left me a bit haunted, but also in awe of the place and the photographer!

Let there be light!

my son's carriage was identical. 1970. sad to say but back inthe day infants, children were were placed if they were born with any kind of defect, from Down syndrome to cerebal palsy. not sure if they went to wsh,but this stroller may have been used for a really small adult. it does seem tp sag.

i just imaginrd myself on the inside looking out ......forever. how depressing
