May I ask; if they eventually decide to tear down these builings; would they remove the contents or just leave everything as it is?

LOVE THOSE STAIRS!!!!! And would love to know what's down there!

You caught the dreariness and gloominess of this room.

Mt mouth fell open when I viewed this picture! Gorgeous fireplace!

Beautiful photo! Almost looks like a church.

Everyone knows those things don't do anything but move you'r fat around

I could name some people that aren't FIT to be parents so the kids would probably benefit being away from them. I think when a child is very little, they show so much love and want so much attention that any misbehavior, on an adults part, they are easy to forgive. You don't realize ALOT of things until you get older.

Perhaps they could just say patients and staff?

Looks like something out of Hellraiser!
I expect skinless Julia to writhe out and say "help me, Frank!"

I know everyone, including me, always are saying, "How sad, how horrible", and alot IS sad but I feel that under the circumstances at the time, they did all they could with what they had and what they knew--then. It seems cruel and barbaric to think of certain things they did but I'm sure the professionals didn't have all the modern medical adcantages that we have now. My grandmother used to tell me stories of all the homes in her time for so called "bad" kids. My mom used to say to me occasionally,"If you don't behave I'm going to send you to a home". Well, that used to scare the heck out of me! But now the tables have turned somewhat. When my daughter was younger, and she used to talk back to me, I'd go to smack her face and I got the statement,"If you smack me, I'm going to the guidance councelor!" It goes from one extreme to another.

What is the machine below the calender recorder thing

If you look close there is still a glass tube in the right hand corner of the picture near the box

Very sad picture. Makes you wonder what happened to any that used that crib.

Those are capacitors the circular thing is actualy a slot where you would fit a valve or tube which is a fancy name for a light bulb that acts as a resister..... I have a 1939 radio thats how i know

I dare someone to go there and eat one!
OMG the thought just curdles mt blood!
