dude it sucks that they are knocking it down. i was just there yesterday. bird shit was still fun.. the cement couch was cool but i wish i had a chance to see it all

Wow, these photos bring back memories. I must have roamed these halls 20 times as it was the 'hip' thing to do in high school. I remember there was an elevator shaft room (complete with working door - a rarity in that place) that we would hang in. You could hear all the goings on in the building. We actually headed down into the tunnels that connect the two main buldings. The also give access to the resident houses. Its a shame they never did something with this place, it would have made a nice campus. I recall one halloween when taking some friends who had never been I ended up in the hospital by myself. I was overly confident, ran across the lot to the main buliding and was 1/2 way up the latter when security spotted me. I ended up running into the hopsital to avoid being busted. (was always a major fear of mine to be in that place alone) but being arrested was a greater fear so it took some of the fear out of the hopsital itself. Thanks for the memories...Were there pics taken with persmission? If anyone is interested I had an almost fool proof way of gaining access (accept that one halloween)

I admit I am a newbie to this abandon building stuff, but it I am really surprised how quickly these buildings get completely destroyed by the elements. I mean, the place just closed in 1994.

It is a little strange that it is so polished. Everything else in the other photos is torn up. Why did this piece of stainless steel stay nice? Who is cleaning it?

I'd love to have garage doors like this.

eewwwww...
EEEEeewwwwwww!!!!!!

The "S" after the room # likely stands for "Solitary."

The soap dispensers (that cracks me up) look sort of like monitors hanging in some sinister control room or security center.

This seriously looks like it should be a promo for a horror/thriller flick. Maybe a movie could be written around it...
Motts, this is really one of the best websites and some of the most interesting photos I've ever seen. Would love to have just a smidge of the talent for catching the life of these places that you do.

The thing is a lot of old elevators had windows in the shaft (and odely the elevators themselves had no windows in the part you ride in) LOL Whats the point of putting windows in the shaft if the person rideing can't see out?

Naaaa, it's no biggie. Looks like the obstacle course in basic training.

Kinda looks like what's left after the Three Stooges played this piano.

Hello everyone!
My son (same name) googled our name and this talk session came up! Yes, I did jump in and save that intoxicated fellow on th flume ride. And yes, a maintenance worker was chopped to pieces on the skyliner! I am currently a math teacher in Mansfield, MO.
My how times have changed. I am very impressed with John Black's knowledge of Rocky Point and Rhode Island. I lived there for 24 years. Please respond back! Thanks!

This shot here really reminds me of a resturaunt in disney world. It is in tommorrow land and there is some robot alien things playing on the stage.

Whoopsey, more than one Philadelphia Geriatric Center existed. Still sizable.
