THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT WAS MY FIRST JOB IN 1966, A GREAT X-RAY MACHINE

These photographs always bring thoughts of something.

This is a photograph of the future of how we will live.

Someday there will be a built - in link between the plant kingdom and the manufactured structured wall's of the buildings that we will live in and work in. The plants can be used as a way of producing oxygen to breathe cleaner air and to help regulate the air temperature inside the buildings. People will also be able to live and work in a much nicer and safer environment. The Ferrari automobile plant in Italy is starting to do this in a small way.

The walls look as if they were bleeding a blue type of blood.

A long, boring and seemingly endless hallway.

this is what all the floors looked like. just barren empty rooms with no windows at all. i'm sure he just used a flashlight, that was the thickest dark i've ever been in

I find it interesting that these doors are in a mental health facility. When you look at the doors in these types of places they do not let the light in, they are not open in any substantial way and yet these allow so much contact between the patient and the staff. I just wonder what the thinking behind this particular type of door was.

Such a fabulous visual experience! Thanks very much, Motts!

This what they called a day room. They would have 50 or more guys in there running around in there ripping there closes off and more wild things too.

I know it's a old pic, but that's not the Verrazano bridge.

That would be the Williamsburgh Bridge. The curve of Greenpoint/Williamsburgh & The Brookly Navy yard prevent you from seeing the Verrazano bridge from any point on Roosevelt island. Not to mention how Manhattan dips out a little.

But the fence is still up, and i guess winter is the best time to go. it's full of so many people in the summer.

I was just there a few weeks back.. that floor is no longer there lol.

The second floor is now the first floor.

very true lol

Thank you very much Joseph. Check out the website that was part of the link. The site has full of info and pictures. On the main page you can ask questions about the building or just say any old thing. I have left several comments on the site.

me n my friends saw shadows of kids running on the side of that building. i twisted my ankle real bad running

There is something about a merry go round that just makes you smile, no matter what your age is. But this painting is down right creepy!

If anyone cares.. It nolonger sits empty. The place has been restored and is a Veterans hospital and residential housing. The South East Veterans Center.
