My first thought, THE HOLOCUAST.

Sinks only???? Hmmmm

I was thinkin' how unusual the peeling paint looked. Yes Tom, almost looks like walpaper. Guess so many coats of paint piled up, it just peeled like that.

I love the way the light from the window enhances the peeling paint but is surrounded by darkness. Then the view just adds to it. One of ur best Mr. Motts.

This is a Mini Alcatraz.

What a fence, Awsome!!! Mr. Motts, I was just looking at all the weeds. I was wondering if u get infested with ticks or chiggers when u do these shoots? As a person who grew up out in the country, I just don't see how u can keep from it. : )

Thank you Elizabeth for being the voice of reason. You are absolutely right. Those toys are manufactured with the background scene in place.

i have to say that the senseless vandalism to these buildings really sucks ass. it's one thing to break in to explore, but for f'ing morons to deliberately wreck what's left of the place is the main reason there is so much security now. maybe those kids should get a f-ing life.

yes, i remember these. the staircase acted as an exterior fire escape, and if i remember, there were real issues with people sometimes locking the doors to those exits. i'm sure i still have those skeleton keys. i just need to figure out where they are!

i can barely remember what the large glass doors looked like leading into 21. i'll have to look for pictures from when i worked there.

I was there before this wall went up and remember when bldg 22 was converted from geriatrics to younger criminally insane patients. It got much harder after that to tell the employees from the patients, as many would walk the halls between buildings.

no name,

i grew up in KP too, and most of my family put themselves through college by working food service. I worked in bldgs 7 and 21 for 5 years. It's amazing what this place has become.

This was the view from my floor in bldg 7 for the 5 years I worked there between 1980 and 1985. Some of the stuff I've read here is pretty amazing. Some of it is exaggerated bullshit. But isn't that how legends are born?

I grew up in KP the first 22 years of my life. I worked in bldgs 7 and 21 between 1980 and 1985. It's amazing to me that this place has become a part of history and folklore. I also used to explore the tunnels and roofs during my less-than-packed work schedule.

One thing I learned was that the line between the patients and employees was VERY gray and blurry.

I need to find pics of me and my work mates at work. Write me at somfp69@yahoo.com if you want to know more.
