I must say, the first thing that captured me about this photo is the texture presented. So, so nice!

in responce to kevin, that so sad... many people were forced to leave by the NAACP, they liked it there they didn't know any other place and were incapable of taking care of themselves.

Deep breaths Lynne. And yes, you have permission to ask those questions again.

I agree awyper, I love that about the old industrialist builders. Everything had to have some class!

i like this one, ths picture is off balence and its far away.. which is symbolic for the fact that its abandonded

Hey Ed, was there recently a fire in W-7? It's hard to get a good look while fighting rush hour traffic on the Boulevard, but i drove past this morning & there appeared to be fresh smoke damage around one of the 3rd story windows, plus some newer-looking sheet metal over several of the ground floor windows.

This picture reminds me of a title of a piece of music from the Silent Hill soundtrack. It's called "Clockwork Little Happiness".
Beautiful shot, Mr. Motts!

again i must re comment on the fact that, NAACP closed it down because of one women being held there against her will because she said she liked being homeless .. soo the NAACP decided they should all have a choice, even though they shouldn't be trusted making decisions due to the fact that they are mentally ill. but regardless the NAACP closed them down saying they were unconsitutional to hold people or lock people up. nobody was tortured there ever.... if you were cold when you visited it, you probably should have worn a jacket.

um.. i am very upset about the dumb rumors about this place.. nobody was tortured in the basement and anywhere else... the NAACP closed the asylum down because it claimed it was unconsitional, and if the crazies wanted to be homeless they had that choice.

Looks like some Silent Hill type backgrounds

Tony C IM not sure about that. But I do know when I was working in a mill on the fire department they told us not to walk to close to some of the switches and big open electric panels because we could get jolted somehow. I will try and find out the answer for ya if someone else don't in the mean time.

when was this picture taken and was removal of records, etc. completed at the time it was taken?

No-one hurts stained glass

some of you make such stupid assumptions and stupid comments and I'm sure the mask was placed there for effect.

Having been an inmate back in god knows wnen - you see the scary thing is I am still out there - when am I going to get around to you?
