Actually what I hear is they are keeping the buildings and renovating them into high end condos and houses on the grounds. Poltergeist anyone??

"uglification" ... ROFL!!! Perfect description.

Lynne, although I very much appreciate & respect your explanation ... now I have a headache.
I've been too chicken to look it up ... no wonder!!!
Oh, the pink sinks ... chrome trim too, hehehe.

how sad knowing this theater abandoned...they dont even renovate it!!

I really do not understand hydrotherapy ? what was the purpose?

Otay - all is forgiven. I am a terrible softy, just like Marty. :-)

Where is this place

how sad to look a picture like this...how sorry knowing that this was once an entertainment place for others.

Motts just curious how many cameras do you carry?

I think to understand the present., we must look back at the past.

Lynne, I understand what you are saying and do believe mental health is a serious issue despite the fact that I joke about it sometimes.

Former employee, I wanted to know whether there is a cemetry at NSH for former patients and heard there was an incinerator at the site. What was the incinerator used for? Animals which were tested, humans, or perhaps to burn of old furniture or possessions from patients who were diseased?
What was the real idea behind the tunnels? Transportation of patients? How were the piers near the river used? What was the employee club house like and what types of events were held in the auditorium? Do you have photos of memorabilia of NSH? That would be neat if you posted them to share with all.

Wow! Beautiful. Infrared shots are amazing.

What a beautiful shot, Motts! I really love the colours and the ethereal quality of this one - it looks so otherworldly, like a dreamscape, and that sky is just gorgeous. Reminds me a lot of the Northern Lights.

I'd love to be able to take shots even half as fantastic as this one. Great work, dude! :)

Is the circus train still at NSH or did someone take it?

I love the green ;-)
