Sometimes there just aren't enough words. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your fans, Motts. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Picture we put up in Bldg 23 Ward 3; the female surgical unit. Every time Joint Commission would come for accreditation we would get painted, get new curtains, bedspreads, etc...this picture was put up in the late 70s maybe 1979.

Stunning.
I love also how the tents give you a prespective on the scale of the building.
Just perfect! Great job, Motts

Graduated from Pilgrim School of Nursing in 1977 (last class). What a great school and an awesome place to work...worked in Bldg 23 the Med/Surg Unit for 15 years and became Nurse Administrator. Sad to see it so desolate; it was so vital once. So many memories I couldn't even begin to tell you. From the classrooms to the dorms in the Nurse's Circle to the morgue to the lab to the underground tunnels to the cemetery to the train station...so much happening. From lobotomies to ECT to chemotherapy; what changes. I remember Pilgrim from 1956 when I lived on Harrison Street in Brentwood and we would steal the vegetables from the farm and then I attended the Nursing Progrram...what an education; not enough money to pay for that kind of training. So SAD to see its demise.

Thanks, no it was shot from the top floor of the fort, as the building was sort of U-shaped.

Thanks, I'm not sure... still debating whether to finish up some of the places I've done in the USA!

Very interesting insight, Joseph. Thanks! Great shot, Motts....I take it you took this from a mountain?

Didn't anyone notice that you have to wake up looking like a clown before beginning your day? lol!

So mr. Motts, wenn are u gonna post new pictures? Can't wait to see your new pics.
Have fun over there!!!!

looks like the ship is trying to free itself from the clutches of underwater hands !

Lynne,

On July 13, 2006 a message posted by ABgirl mentionned that she got one crib like the one that is shown. I wonder were she was able to have one. More info about suplliers would be great or if it possible to contact ABGirl to know more about it would be great.

My grandfather worked at this mine. He died because of it, got some kind of cancer...

Mott: Some of your photographs somehow bring to the surface dark and scary thoughts.

This photo says to me that the poor person in this room spent his or her long days in the grips of desolation and loneliness whiched turned into hellish nightmares of dread and despair.

I wonder if many a tear was shed in this room............?
