I think that is a refrigerated unit for some kind of cold storage.

Looking at these pictures, I also picture the activity that once happened there; the patients, the nurses, the doctors. It's really sad and I never realized there were so many insane asylums around like this. I guess years and years ago they didn't really know a whole lot how to treat you, either, not like today with our modern medicine. Those poor poor people.

Who was depressed?

Beautiful picture! But I still can certainly understand why these people were depressed.

Boy, you guys really have wild imaginations!!

The same question I've been asking over and over again, what happened to all these people?

CAN YOU WONDER WHY THESE PEOPLE WERE DEPRESSED?!?!?!?

Beautiful room! It's a shame everything's laying around and rotting.

For some reason, years ago people DID take pictures of the deceased in coffins. One of my neighbors had her mother's picture hanging in her living room with her mother laying in a casket. Why, on earth would you want to remember someone like that and look at it everyday?

STILL ACTIVE!!!!!!! Hope the buildings aren't near these! I think keeping people at these places probably made them worse. They're so dreary looking. So depressing!

Oh, and another thing, Motts really enjoys what he's doing , as I would, too, if I could do that. Just because you're not interested in something and someone else is, don't put them down for it. I'm so glad I found this web-site because it's everything I love to read and look at. I appreciate all the work Motts is doing and I can't wait to get on the computer every chance I get to view his WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL photography!

Let's put it this way, I'd have Motts take pictures for me anyday. I think Carl should go on a "pro" photographer's site and stay there. Motts' pictures are some of the most incredible I've ever seen!! Bet this Carl likes all this modern art junk, too.

So do they just let these things waste away And then kind of chop them up? Why don't they do that to begin with?

I have an antique banister dismantled and stored in my basement. I just don't have a place to install it.

Imagine what is under all the oceans? Our whole earth is almost a giant graveyard. I'll bet everything could have some good stories to tell; if they could talk, of course.
