This place is also known as Shock Corridor. I'v been in this same spot years ago at night, and will never return to it.

The people that view these facilities as "Houses Of Evil" should research the conditions that led to them being established. Prior to Medicare and Medicaid (mid 1960s) a family with a MR/DD child could be wiped out financially by the cost of caring for the child. Add that to the social stigma of having "tainted genes" in the family tree, some people chose to sacrifice the one to save the many. These children were hidden away in attics and closets or worse. The establishment of hospitals and schools for them was the work of high minded people trying to provide a safe and caring environment.

Thanks for the use of your soapbox Lynne.

This is an excellent picture. It captures the beauty of an abandoned room without the graffiti and trash on the floor. Even the peeling paint has a charm all it's own. It looks like a map of Asia.

There may be a market here. Not just for shoes, but a full line of 'Byberry clothes'. The t shirts would have some of Motts pictures printed on them.
