Many years ago, as a teenager, I passed the Glenn Dale Hospital on my way to the beaches. It wasn't until this past week that for some odd reason my youngest son, now 42, mentioned the hospital and that he and some friends had been in some of the buildings on Halloween. I guess this is a great thing to do. I would just love to tour the ruins. This evening my husband and I drove by it. It must have been beautiful in its time. As often as I drove by it I never gave it a thought until just last week. It would be nice if you could tour it.
I worked there 45 years ago people tend to forget where the words idiot,moron, and imbacile are used .They were all there, a very ,very sad place to work. Attendants carried soap in a sock for protection. I lasted 3 day's. I couldn't handle it.
as an engineer who has worked in (and roamed through with wonderment) both new and old plants - power, steel fabrication, etc. - these pics are, simply put, me, and i deeply apreciate and enjoy your considerable talent. thank you for the OUT OF THIS WORLD artisanry. i've been showing your work to all my friends (more of them are artists than you might think).
During the making of Marathon Man Laurence Olivier saw Dustin Hoffman just after he made up to look all messed up, & quipped that he should take a taxi next time. Dustin went into a huff because of this & the production lost a few days before he could be pursuaded to come back.
This looks very basic, mainly chicken wire. In WW1 soldiers who lost both legs were often carried home in wicker baskets because it was too easy for them to fall off a stretcher. The term Basket Case comes from these.
My secondary school had a lot of ceiling fittings like this in the Home Enconomics rooms, but were all tied up near to the ceiling & the on/off cords removed.
