Wow! Amazing shot! I love the title you gave it as well!

You begin to know where you're welcome and where you're not. I also know of several forums and Yahoo groups that are so full of rules and regulations, you're afraid to say anything.

Sorry, but Steve, although that's true it's incerdibly disgusting. But it definitely is a relic of the war, and americas history.
They never taught me any of this in AP History..

Wonderful shot! I agree with boy Lynne and Jude! That's really...wow...

Oops, I forgot to say that I'm a relative newbie, and I didn't think the comments were overwhelming. I found the community here to be welcoming, too. (hugs all around)

Maybe a newbie to the 'web might get overwhelmed, but if you've been surfing for a while, you know how to skip over stuff.

I would love to live in such a beautiful structure. I mean these places were built to house the sick, and a lot of times, let's face it, they became homes for everyone.
In Danvers they used to allow poor people to live there for 1 month, free room and board. I assume that happened at many hospitals.
These places were amazing, and it's a shame to see them falling apart.
I would LOVE to buy one of these hospitals and renovate them.
But it's costs so much, you'd need to get them right when they closed. I hope someday to buy a small hospital that closed in Haverhill not too long ago, and shouldn't cost too much. I'm sure the other hospital on the ground will close soon enough, it's already old, and has a reputation for malpractice.
The building isn't nearly as beautiful as this one, and it's in a residential area, but I would love to take it over and renovate it.
Same thing with the mill buildings in the cities around me.
Currently my father and I buy run-down houses, restore them, and sell them again, and it's always fantastic to see them renovated, and to go through the layers of paint and wall paper, to see what's been there, and to imagine what when on.
I can just imagine what it would be like to renovate a hospital...

Stuff like the light fixture/soap dispenser post have got to stay,but this thread could be deleted next week, and we'd probably never miss it.

Personally, I don't like chat, but that's me.

Oh, and Motts, I think the more of you for leaving the original light fixture comment up. We'll never stop teasing you about it, but perhaps you were only showing your age, or lack there of.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful shot!

Love this shot!

Beautiful! I love the detail of the woodwork! It goes well with the stained glass!

I don't think so...have at it Kate!

Again, WONDERFUL photo!

Very nice photo indeed...what kind of rig did you shoot it with? I too went in numerous times in the eighties and it was always a little spooky and lots of fun at the ole Tuberculosus Hospital. Baharba

I like this shot. It's strange because knowing it's the violent ward you'd think not to enter, but with the door open like that (slightly a jar) it envokes curiosity!

Ha yeah, forget college. lol.
Oh and my shop has over 30 printers in at, and presses, Imagine working a GIANT PRINTER 5 days a week for 6 hours with only a 25 minuet break...EEP!
(i guess it's worth it though because I get to go home to a nice computer screen to look at Motts fantastic photography, which, by the way is my SLIDESHOW BACKROUND.)
