Started by Madame Blavatsky in 1875. She was an occultist, spirit medium and author who founded The Theosophical Society. Born August 12, 1831 and died May 8 1891. She is what we would call today a free thinker. I worked with a secretary that was into this religion. Very strange compared with other religions.

....and a few of those chairs have a very cool design - that round-ness - and were probably OK comfortable also.
Is it 1930-ties construction + fabrication???

Punch tape, I remember it well. This is a gorgeous picture. I love the contrast between the orderly, identical punch tape holes and the random flakes behind them.

I was there 90 91 you are correct, that was no place for a child,maybe if we didn't get abused,verbally, mentally, physically and some sexually and drugged all the time, then maybe that place would have been able to help kids, but, all the place was, was a place for adults to take total control over us kids, and they knew they had all the control in the world...If I could find where the staff are now that I had on my ward, I would for sure give them a piece of my mind and exploit the abuse they did to us kids....
