they appear to be salvaged military 2 1/2 ton truck engines, these trucks are still in service, built by studebaker, hupmobile, white,and contenental to mil. spec.

20 years later... WHY DIDN'T I BRING MY PLUMBING TOOLS?!?! Oh, to have those fixtures in my place... so COOL!!!

Forgot to update the status...

I live where the local cemeteries do not allow grave markers that are not flush against the ground. This has been standard for thirty years or so, although the cemetery is quite old. The reason given is that the cemetery is located with an ocean view, and when severe storms come, parts of bodies, coffins and so on have been found on the beach. The gravestones that are not flush are the first things to go.

My recollection is that Glendale was a TB hospital and when TB was eradicated it was turned into a mental hospital...

Those blocks were benches. Shame someone kicked them over.

We always thought it was an incubator of some type. Notice the adjustment knob at the top of the pipe?

BTW, when we used to go there, the electricty was still on, a lot of those lamps worked!

Yes, that is a call buzzer... I still have one buried in a box somewhere. I still think about how many people may have used it...

Yuppers... I remember the place well... my friends and I used to go up there in the mid to late 80's and it is AWESOME!!! We were hanging out there when the lights were still on, exploring and what not. The old x-ray machines still glowed when not plugged in, we found prosthetic legs, horse needles (I still have one from way back), wheelchairs, freezers, beds and cots, etc... There are tunnels leading to almost every building on site, even to the old caretakers house. A few years later I was in a punk rock band and we actually got permission to do a photo shoot (on the outside) for an album cover. Afterward, we hooked up with a police officer that worked there just passing by and he told us he had never been in there, so WE gave him a tour! That was years ago, but it was fun to actually explore one last time with someone who had a gun! I live out of state now, and it has been over 20 years ago. I would venture to guess that the place dosent have too much GOOD stuff left in it but maybe old paperwork, but, I will say this... anyone going there should be VERY CAREFUL!!! Not to mention the fines involved for tresspassing, but you could really get hurt in there! If you have any questions you can e-mail me at chanceimru2@aim.com I have TONS of stories!!!

Why does it say abandoned but it is demolished?

Good they are demolishing the shack.

I remember Haverford State i knew it was coming down in 2005 and Hilltop was my favorite building.
