Wow, interesting to see something like this left behind!

the doors were probly blocke off because inmates were trying to escape terrible things that were happing to them. one of the women said the had she had hiked to Letchworth with school and were able to play with some of the children and they thought it was a stange place. Wow

Wow, amazing shot, sure wouldn't want to be stuck in there with no way out!

i grew up right next door( i mean right next door ! next to the horse stable located on Turkey Hollow Rd., I went to there daycare) and for evey family gathering we ever had when i was a kid a inmate or two would break free from waht ever it was they were doing and come and try to join our family bbqs. My whole family worked at the facilty starting with my greatgrandma& her son (who stared at the age of 8 takeing care of other boys his age to my mother who didnt start till 1980. i love the idea of the place "The Idea" I love the buildings and that it was a selfsufficent community. i always thought it was a beautfil place when you look past all th horribal things the residents had to face i always dreamed of captureing the views of letcworth i grew up with and never had the abilty to do so. I do beleve that i think more of the place the some other local folk and i am glad to see a few others fell the same. a few of the out here took photo but dont really have the same feels as some othrs i like your photos. L ove letchworth.

very interesting when nature takes over, good shot.

Very cool pic, and well worn staircase.

It's called a Stokes stretcher, they are still used frequently in the Navy. The casualty doesn't fall out when going up and down ladders on a ship. It also has a secondary function, if you have a patient (drunk) that requires restraint you tie two of them together and that's called getting 'clamshelled'. It doesn't matter how much fight you have, you aren't going anywhere and you are in a nice convenient carry on bag.

Who built this awful place, Walmart?

Dumped over to the other side. Where are you little soul?

Most of the hospitals I worked at had metal doors or one peice wooden doors. This kind of fancy door with panels fakes me out. It displays the slinter factor.
