I think it is still open as the Essex County Cancer hospital. Power plant is gone but hospital is still there. They used this hospital in one of the movies or TV shows, it was supposed to be a military hospital. Somebody must remember where it was used?

To the two previous comments, sorry, it is a steam engine powering a direct connected Generator, look at it on other side of flywheel. The steam engines generated power that operated the elevators in the hospital, the exhaust steam heated the hospital. They had about 4 steam driven generators and later one or two diesels. I grew up in this town and would visit this engine room from time to time. The hospital was for contagious diseases, I spent 20 days here when I was a kid with scarlet fever, a few years back my son had scarlet fever, he was allowed to return to school after 24 hours on medication. I guess you could call that progress. By the way this power plant is gone and now homes are built here.

i know were the grave site is its cool u wont even know its there till u see all the markers

I think it may be so you can see if the level of paper towels is getting low so you can refill it?

Since I currently work in a Psych Hospital in Seattle, the notes are not all that different than today, sorry to say.

"Crazies" vs. "people with psychiatric illness"

"Crazies" -> hurts and stigmatizes people
"People with psychiatric illness" -> describes people

There's more to it than "just" being politically correct.

Now, back down off the soapboax. Just a warm holiday thought. :-)

Anyone seen the Celebrity Parnamoral Project on VH1? They explore many closed, old, haunted buildings. I'd love them to do a show at Glenn Dale and see if they could conjur up any spirits. Perhaps the Bowie Goat Man! =)

so mike mccoy i can tell ur in the army. the fake name didn't throw me off too much. the mccoy was a show in 1950's starring howard duff as mike mccoy and sheldon leonard as the police lieutenant

Grifspop...Thats the word I wanted to use but I didn't think it was a real world!

Thanks...its the exact word I was looking for!

I got addicted to this site. Waiting for more awesome pictures. Have you ever caught being in such building Motts?

Oh, perhaps that's why the stairs moved out. The wall was caught with lipstick on it's collar (so to speak)

Never met them.
