Nice shot. I'm trying to make sense of what the sign over the door means. "Run into this door."

Wow what is it with this angle? It makes me feel like I'm going to "fall" into the sink!

Lynne are you growing your own salad? ;-)

Nice shot Motts, the colours are fabulous.

Everyone is forgetting that this was our clients home. Pennhurst was a "town" where all the retarded people were accepted for who they were just as they were.

This seems oddly familiar...have we been here before? No seriously.

So, wait, is that the first padded room you've actually come across? If so, any idea as to whether thats thanks to patterns of decay (pads = more rottable?) or just because they're not nearly as common as the popular asylum stereotype would have us believe?

Well, I don't know if someone put the shirt there or not, but there really were volunteers that were Candy Stripers when I worked there.

How... surreal.

Did anyone realize that many of the retarded individuals had many deformaties? The different wheel may have been to accomodate a deformed hand. We did have many wheelchairs individualized for each client.

This hospital disturbs me more than the others. I don't think I've ever seen or heard of one that was so 'caged.'

You should have seen it before it was looted and left to rot. It was really the grandest building in Pennhurst.

Well a year later we finally have an answer, though I see there's still some debating going on. I'll take PJ's word.

Only seeing the branches, it reminds me of evil...

Thanks Motts, another great gallery

This room makes me think of a small gymnasium.
