I think about that often too Dave> Motts says he uses appropriate masks for aesbestos etc. but I think about all the other ppl. who talk about breaking into these places like it was nothing. There are so many dangers, not to mention it is often private property. I'm not preaching; do what you will - it's just something to think about.

Is that a crop circle in the foreground?

It looks like the torture these kids endured is trying to escape the room.

AWESOME shot though, wallpaper maybe?? Plz Motts?? =)

Gad, it's horrible to think children were secluded in these rooms.

It's sad that it took so many years for the public to realize that they are not outcasts, that they are humans and should be treated like one.

Sadly, not all mental health insitutions believe in this today.

I hope the people who tortured the mentally disabled back in the day are all burning and rotting in hell. Or even better, receiving the same treatment they enforced on them today...Or just have REALLY shitty lives..

This is quite a frightening shot.. yet it's beautiful.

I could not walk around this place.. it would spook me out too much.

Great work motts!

Wow that door looks like a scarred piece of skin.. It's beauty behind the beast.

Oh i totally agree with J.R. on this one..

LYNN WHERE ARE THOU??!?!

It's all gone. The main bldg. and it's axcillary partners have been demolished and turned into a strange litlle grassy knoll. There is no sign that it ever existed and now it a cemetary without a monuement. It saddens me and all the other staff workers who used to worked there,but the grieving has not ceased. Ersatz, ersastz and thats what left. The spirit no longer exists and memorories are no more. I mourn in my old age, but I accept what invevitably has come to be. I hope the little kids are arne't haunted by what has gone before them in there little cofortable apt's, but it would be a nice idea to educate what had happened in the hallowed ground that they now live in. Again, Motts, I salute you for saving such an enviorment that will never happen again, I love you my friend wherewhatever you are doing. My best, my very best to you for your service.

what is the history of this place and why did it close down

thats amazing how rusted can be so beautiful....

a wood hulled boat with a steel capped nose looks like sub hunter or possibly a large sea tug with an ice rated hull, thats obviously old
