Sorry, I meant beams. : )

I can remember the old attic when I was a kid. The steps were real steep and had a sharp curve to them at the bottom. You could see all the open beans in the ceiling and the walls. And the roof had a very sharp pitch to it that you had to duck your head at some places. As a kid, I used to be scared to go up there.

I don't even want to think what this spot looks like now. I'd probably be sick.

Right now I'm reading a book on Danver's and I just had to come back to this site and look at the pictures. Probably by now, everything's gone; am I right?

This part actually looks pretty decent---clean. Don't they remove valuable items before they demolish it? Or does everything get torn down together?

And why were patients secluded? Misbehavier? If you have mental problems to begin with, don't you think that would make it worse?

My first thought, looking at this photo was, "What a beautiful painting."

In very old homes, electrical wiring was often run on the outside of the walls. First of all, today our construction is such cheap dry-wall, they have no problem running the electrical wires behind the walls; it's only studs and the rest is hollow. It was more difficult to run wiring behind walls that were pretty heavy "real" plaster and heavier construction.

Isn't this hallway kind of narrow? It just really looks closed-in.

Seriously, I wonder if it WOULD work?

Honestly, I've been to other sites and I have to say Mott's photography is out-standing' clear, fantastic lighting, beautiful angles. No one can say you don't know what you're doing.

I can't believe they will be knocking down something this beautiful. It really makes me sick.

Shadows people, shadows.
