The soap was SO strong, it didn't just peel the paint, but it blew the whole bottom out of the dispenser on its way... THAT'S why there's no bottom on this particular soap dispenser

Unforgetable!

Okay for some reason when I clicked on this picture Guns and Roses "Welcome to the Jungle" just starting playing in my head....

Wonderful shot motts, I like how the blue on the wall contrasts with the green on the floor.

Aww too bad somebody broke all the windows. It looked like a cool room (still does actually).

Good question cyber, does anyone know the answer?

Decidedly odd--best way to say it Lynn and I like it too.

Hi Janice! Told you I'd be here to check this out. :-)

I think it is the same room. Why do I find the old picture so creepy?
Still, really cool. Any idea around what year the old photo was taken Motts?

ya'know, those holes or whatever in the doors look like the stars on the rooms of celebrities like you always see in shows...looks like their talkshow got canceled a while back :)

Were these patient rooms or seclusion rooms? They are very small.....

Looks like a doorway to heaven with that light shining through.

This is pretty. Reminds me of pictures I've seen from EMS, an old asylum in New Jeresy which isn't there anymore.

There is something very elegant about this staircase.

Dizzying shot! I love it! :-)

The color on the other side of the hall--the two toned pink--is nice but I'm not crazy about the shade in the hall. Between that and the drab yellow a few pictures back, ugh.
Why couldn't they have used more baby or virbrant colors for these places? For instance, the baby pink on the other end of the hall is nice.

Hey, Long Island Irish, check out the info at this link:

Motts put it up on the front page of this gallery. There's some very interesting and comprehensive info there about the hospital's history. There are also some neat pictures. I think you'll find the stories there enlightening - I did. While the hospital's past is checkered, it seems that there were a committed few who really strove to make it a pleasant place for troubled people. It's a shame that it didn't work out.

very very VERY pretty and cool; i've allways liked ferns. theres something about them...prehistoric, maybe? eeh, they're just cool....

and i agree, they should leave this grow for at LAEST 5 years, it'll be a fern palace! or a cool greenhouse
