It could, although much of it is rather outdated (although certainly better than no equipment at all). As well, sitting around in funky old buildings for decades doesn't always make someone want to use that piece of equipment for their already vulnerable child (unless it can be sterilized and updated).

However, I wrote somewhere else (can't remember where - sorry) that in many cases equipment that is purchased with specific types of funding can't ever be sold, given away, or re-used. It's bizarre, but there were original reasons for those conditions. They might have been worried about someone getting used equipment and the conditions were perhaps so that only the latest equipment could be used. Another reason might have been that they were afraid that people would make a profit off the equipment by re-selling it and it would go to some use for people other than those for whom it was originally designated.

Ironically it has turned into sort of a Catch-22 when all is said and done as far as re-using it.

Ever seen rats in there?

i just went 2dat at half 2 am pitch black and i swear i heard screams my friend went in to shock and is said if u smell lavender around there are evil spirits or ghosts as 1ne myt say..it was realy scary ive jus gt bk frm there now and looking it up we heard alot of noices people may think im mad but we even so a pair of eye and something walkn a tall dark figure thats when we decided 2 leave!!

Could this equipment be used today? Or is it too outdated?

I would like to buy one of these old buildings and then look through all the paper work, play with all the gagets, explore every nook and cranny and invite you all to join me :)

Your photography is absolutely stunning, Mr. Motts. I love the historical aspect of your adventures. Thanks.

I'm absolutely amazed, it has stood still in time. I love that slouched old bastard leaning against the wall, is he a permenat part of the structure or is he just an another illusion of what was and shall never be again. I love it.

It is amazing to contrast and compare the beauty of old places against the stark utility of new factories, which have no style at all. Thanks for the pics!

Yeah, my school headmaster was in one of these as a child.
I have a Time Magazine picture book and people use to decorate their iron lungs with pictures and stuff ( I thought that was pretty cool)

I said this before... I saw one for sale on EBAY and the seller actually got in it and turned it on. He said it put alot of pressure on his chest.
Can you imagine getting stuck in one of these and calling the fire birgade to get you out?

Hi Jenn,
It's ok to look through the fence, but Mott's is right, it is illegal to enter the property - and no one wants to ruin it for Clark's Farm. - They are still working on saving what ever they can.
you can vivit the site that Motts posted here too - it has lots of current info. ( thanks Motts!)

The farm always has an E. F. celebration twice each year. One in the Spring, and one in August, near the actual anniversary/Birthday date of the original E. F.'s opening day. This year it's on August 11-12, 2007. They are encouraging folks to bring their old pics from visiting at The E. F. - Once Upon A Time.
Hope you can make it to the celebration!

"The Ring" any one?


and btw, when i went i found that hole too and uncivered it, i threw in some glow sticks, i saw them glide down for about 10 feet, and then they just dissapeared, i tell you what, it freaked me the fuck out, i left after that.

It looks like the scene from "28 Weeks Later" when the kids are crossing the bridge. Creepy shit

ECT = Electroconvulsive Therapy

wtf is ECT?
