Did they make them there or what?

What type of walker is that? Is it for an infant or child?

There's a grim irony in seeing all those mobility aids in the previous pics, followed by a staircase...

Nice green glow, though it'd drive my allergies nuts to be in there :/

re to Lynne:
As i said before you are right. I'm not a ghost hunter and i don't see haunted things on every corner. I'm here cause i love photography and i have a deep respect about the people who lived in those places. I'm italian, but my wife is from NJ and her father died of cancer on 2000 after pain and sufferings and she has been always by his side till the end, she took care of him at home alone, i know what it means. This is just to bring some light on my thoughts. Other than this, i love to enjoy these wonderful pics. :-)

Place looked more like a Jail then a school .

Yes... I agree, Weasel. My own son is nonverbal autistic and as I look at places like this I wonder what his life would have been like just fifty years ago....

someone needs to go steal/save that sign. You could sell it where I live for a thousand bucks.

damn... old doll's heads are creepy anyways, but when you find one in a place like this...

Heh... ...Belchertown...

Awesome New pics! If I'm not mistaqken, I'm THE FIRST THE POST ON A PIC!!! wow. that was one cool feeling. I love your photo's Mr. Motts!

I'd pay for carpeting like that...

Since pollepel means "ladle," some people think this was where Dutch ships would drop off drunk sailors; then, when the ship returns, they pick up their sobered-up friends. ;)

You can almost see the moisture in the air. Looks like this place was sweltering. Such humidity surely accelerates decay of wooden supports... wonder how long these buildings will be structurally sound.

Reminds me of the shag carpeting in the house my family moved into in 1985...
