Just beautiful, does remind you of a jury box..

I have to say that it's a bit sad that these patients probably didn't have much input about what was to be done to their bodies after they passed on. It wasn't bad enough that they ended up in one of these cold asylums because society had no place for them. Only for them to end up on one of these slabs to be cut into histological specimans? Was it perhaps their contribution to society? Even though they more than likely had no idea it would be done to them?
Hopefully there will be a good writing of exactly what went on inside these walls, how effective treatments really were, how and why these places were really shut down and where similar patients are being treated and housed today.
Apparently jails house alot of people today that would have been in an asylum prior to most of them closing in the early 1990's, usually 25-40% of inmates.
I could ramble longer but, I'll spare you.

yes, very titanic, and bankey. Thanks to you Motts and others for preserving these grand old buildings in pictures.

Very pristine, again, love the leaded glass!

the train I had was from the late sixtys early seventys, and came with a caboose and a flatbed car, along with animals.

Leaded Glass! just beautious!

Hats and derbies off to you Motts!! another excellent gallery. In response to the above comment, no hard feelings, but alot of people like to type in caps, not to get the point across, but because it looks neater to some. :-)

the old elevator of blood must have rolled through here.

this looks exactly like one of the rooms in session9

Did the Shining elevator of blood roll through here?

I'm liking you more and more, Johnny.

Yes - Clowns are the personification of all that is evil in the world.

didnt aerosmith paty here for a couple weeks in the 70's? I seem to remember a story about the vacationing with drugs at an abandoned mental hospital. One of them locked themselves in a room with crack for a couple days.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

clowns are evil

I believe there is a provision in most state laws regarding unmarked or older graves. That either the bodies are to be respectfully moved.
Or
In the cases here in California, they cannot develop on the land.
Up here in 'gold rush country" If a grave is found it has to be marked fenced off and I believe that there has to be a certain amount of distance between the fence surrounding the grave and where any development can begin.

thry're probably trying to use the foliage as a deterrent to keep people away from the building
