Nothin' beats a crisp, early morning fall fog and here it just makes everything look surreal

While turning this place into a Halloween horror show is indeed tasteless, least they decided to do that over demolishing everything. I'd rather see it intact as a cheesy haunted house than as a pile of rubble in the woods.

I would give almost anything to have had windows like that in my house, preferably in a library room, to sit down and either just watch out the windows or use the light to read.

Ceiling looks high; and those are very good windows - for a basement. Looks OK.

Ahh hahahaha - nope - too big - too square - not handsome enough, wanderer, Iceberg. Megan - see Taunton Gallery and you will see fine lamps.

it is a urinal for the bedridden.

That book gives a good idea of what I went through in the Shelter behind the Isolation Hospital. I tried to get him to do a piece on me but he was burnt out on the subject and well I'm some guy off the internet.....

Seriously need the maker of those blinds.
They look like they were just put up.
Indestructible!!

Thankyou for sharing these pictures. Some day this won't exist.

They may have used it for a visiting room for family. Freespirit76, the view was spectacular in it's earlier days. The grounds were gorgeous. It felt peaceful and took you back in time. But then again there was another side, in it's day.

Great colors and shapes in this hallway. Very interesting decor. I agree with Ontario...Looks like it was inspired from another country.

Excellent Mike! That makes this metal staircase even MORE interesting.

I think it works really well to mix things up also. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks! Actually, to me, at this angle, i notice things even more so, like the fixtures that once held the hand railing and a better look at the double staircases.

Thanks; I enjoy dead-on photos a lot, but when there's too many in a set, there's just something off-putting about it, so I try to mix it up. I think the lines of perspective work well at this angle.

That's interesting, I just bought and read The State Boy's Rebellion two weeks ago. Pretty wild stuff, especially how many "normal-grade" kids were dropped off at these state schools. With no advanced education or social training skills at these overcrowded and underfunded institutions, there was very little hope of leaving.
