I'm not too far from Pearl Harbor and this kind of reminds me of the Battleship Utah protruding from the water; the view on the left, anyway. Makes you wonder how much is left under the water.

makes me feel so small

see this is what i like about these old buildings ...alll the effort put inot the architectural style .....amazing

what a rare find!

awesome building.....and note the ceiling lights are still intact

Wow, that's a really long sentence. My brain ran out of breath reading it. Also that girl that was scalped by an amusement ride at Bonkers 19 indoor amusement park at the Harborlight Mall in Weymouth, Massachusetts. It was also a Mini-Himalaya that caused the injury and not a falling elevator styled ride.

one word here......fabulous!

can ya feel it Nancy? The loss the confussion the pain loneliness...the mistreatment....the good willed treatments....alll In a day when psychology was a new emerging experimental science......wonderful photo archiveing mr Motts! keep up the good work!

sad but true most will go the way the old Mountain Sanitarium in NJ went demolished.....if any of these places are in a local area to any of you check into getting them listed as historical markers...that will prevent them from slipping into the past ...these hospitals have a wonderufl history and most of it affected the locale

looks like an activity room.....note the fade of pastel colors on the cieling ....awesome shot! I can almost see images of dancing ppl for some reason...odd....but then again Im sensitive like that......still a great shot....

this was a simple bath tub note no shackle rigging

have you done other shots of Kirkbride buildings?

a lone chair in the light like its tired of bring in the dark......Session 9 ..hmmm....I particularly like shots of old equiptment and abandoned beds...gives you a feeling that every one left ina hurry.

or cubbie holes for clean linen for each room? or maybe the personal effects of the staff?

so that they would let the natural light in without having to risk the breaking of large panes of glass or having to compromise the look with the use of wire or bars on windows......keep in mind violent women patients......the opaqueness was not so much to keep them from seeing out but from others seeing in
