went to this building last night...it started out with about 25 of us but 8 ended up stayin...all the doors and most windows on ground level was boarded up...police are definitly watchin the place with night vision goggles...got hit with community service but other than that it was a creepy experience...didnt experience anything but had this gut feeling that we wasnt suppose 2 be there

Love this shot.

there was an eye peeping.

I lived on Staten Island most of my life, I have seen the wrecks many times and wondered ,where how and why they came to be here. So much history rotting away....

This particular machine is an Alternating Current generator. There is no commutator as a DC machine would have. Also, someone has stolen all the copper windings out of it. Looks like an illustration out of a " breakdown of civilization " story !

It is definitely a steam engine of the Corliss type. The steam supply pipe is silver painted and comes off the top of the main steam header. If it were an air compressor, there would be an air inlet pipe, air filter, and reed-type valves on the top of the cylinder. The Corliss patent design is unmistakeable to some one who has worked with it. There are two steam admission valves and two steam exhaust valves. The covers of the valves are visible as round flanges in each of the four corners of the cylinder housing, the square-ish

some people are just gross

that was so beautiful i think i might throw up

i actually go to the prep(st johns) which is like a half a mile away.i see it everytime i go outside because it is the only hill larger than that of which the prep is located on. the asylum i never even knew existed, will probably now scare the shit out of me and i havent even seen ses.9! ahh

Went downtown and observed the ghosties and gobelins, princesses and princes. It was a selict few and familes that paraded the streets of Hamp, and was delightful. I took a ride to the hill to see if I could get a feeling for old main. I stood on the grass field where it once exsisted and felt nothing, the spirits are gone and no longer exist. They are at rest and it time for a renewal. As I feel some regret, I feel that a time has past and a new , vibrant new use for a land that saw so much misery. So sad,to bad, I lost a lot, but I'm happy that the burial ground has become renewal ground. The spirits would approve. Bless you my friend, you gave me a forum that I wouldn't have had otherwise. Love you my friend, you are the best in all ways. Johnny Mac.

...I think it's a confessional!

Yikes !
