Excellent job, my friend. Beautiful shots!

The issue with the upper floors was fire damage, not rot, although obviously it has now also rotted.

It's a textured paint.

According to someone on my site's Pines message board, the people in the tub in that old picture being referenced here are some of the Ehrlich family, the owners until the end. The message board for anyone interested is located at http://www.ineedattention.com/yabbse/

Yea, I was just in the morgue today. It's a shame how bad the junkies have ruined it. I was in the morgue years ago and it was somewhat preserved. I guess the junkies got all of the hypodermic needles and had a blast. It's sad how it looks. Glad I took plenty of pictures, years ago and recently. I have never been in the wing across the street from the kirkbridge main. could never find an entrance. any suggestions?

SO FAR IVE SEEN 4 PICTURES AND ALL OF THEM A MAZE ME

WOW

AMAZING

WOW WONDERFUL

wow

It is a steam engine driving a direct connedted generator, they powered the hoslpital elevators and the exhaust steam from the engine heated the hospital. I think they originally had 4 steam generators then in later years had 2 diesel generators as back ups for the steam plant.

The hospital towards the end ran direct current generators for the power for the elevators, the exhaust steam from the engines went into the heating system of the hospital so I guess you could say they either ran the elvators for free or heated the hospital for free.

What about Political Asylum?

~i went there today, or i bleave to have, the place looked very simaler to the pictures, and the back of the building was burned, it was a huge place, but it was night, and dark (and still is) and i had a horrible feeling about the place, i couldent get within 5 feet of it without my legs turning to mush.
~a lampoast in the back where a fire had burned a good size hole in the building would turn on and off when my good friend took pictures. her camera was fully charged when we got there and it ran out of batteries when she got close to the building. most of the pitures came out blured or black when we were only 25 feet from the building. when we were farther away the pictures came out fine.
~with my uneasy feeling and forboading of the place we didnt enter it to look around, so we just walked around it, even to do that was a chalenge for me.
~the oddest thing though was that we only knew what street it was off of, by chance we drove onto driveway of the building, the buliding has thick woods around it and you cant see it until your right on top of it, we went on the driveway to turn around thinking we missed it, but when we came close to it we seemed drawn to it. and we decided to ditch the cars at a parking lot and check out what was at the end of the driveway. finding a large building, and we decided we found the hospital.
~by the way, where the kitchen burned, is there a large smoke stack? if there is then we definaly found the hospital
~ if we did find it, im happy to report that it hasnt been torn down. and is still standing, though many people have been there recently judging by the foot tracks in the snow and even car tire marks.

Acceptance of abandonment maybe?
