This building will look great once it is all cleaned up and the gardners are brought in.

This remindes me of the movie Session 9. I really love this website!

Those Bullets arent police issue only army can get those grade paint bullets.

Maybe they don't need observation windows. Maybe they're bedrooms for the attending nurses/doctors to take naps on long shifts. SOMEONE has to work the midnight shift and watch the patients, right?

These guys are installed in the circuits to limit the amount of current fed to a fault.

The brass colored lines are called mimics and represent the electrical circuits . They are used on a control panel to show the path of the electric flow from one circuit or piece of equipment to another. Different colored mimics designate different voltages; brass may be 13,800 volts, red mimics may designate 2300 volts and green mimics 440 volts. Silver represents a very high voltage; 138,000 volts and higher. The wavy looking symbols are transformers. Transformers step up or step down voltages through a series of electrical windings. The mimics on this panel all look to be representing the same voltage.

US frequency is based on 60HZ or 60 cycles. Most generating units operate at 3600 RPM or 60x60; that is 60 cycles per second times 60 seconds in a minute.

You are looking at the brush rigging for a three phase exciter that supplies field current to the generator windings.

actually the fire alarm would not be a wound up type and notice the conduit below the box. this is a Edwards D789 toggle switch single stage fire station built in 1920's-1930's when the first relay fire panel was out on the market....

I just visited this place. There are cops who patrol it but you can walk around outside of it fairly easily. This place is beyond creepy though. Has anyone seen the wild dogs that live there?

I've lived in Worcester my entire life and I had never been up to the old asylum until yesterday. I had heard stories abut it all through school and had never been to see. Now that I am a photography student, I have started a project attempting to record the few remaining landmarks that haven't changed in my hometown during my lifetime (as I remember them, anyway). I am so insanely curious about the insides of this amazing piece of eerie history. Just walking around the grounds with my 35mm in the warm (for March!) evening got me all excited thinking about the potential shots in the abandoned darkness....I'm also curious how you had managed to get into the place, since the building is condemned. I know it's breaking a few rules and certainly isn't safe, but that's what art pretty much is.

*sigh*

wish I could explore.

Well.. if that is him then it is PERFECT!

Man I used to play with one of those things.

the red color rilly rilly pritty

this one has to be my favorite of this album

very eerie
