What if he's already married / taken? You'll have to settle for less then......*sigh*

I'd lik'ataka'lik!SLUUUUURP!YUUUUUUUUMMM!!!

For some reason NYS Dept. of Health requires us to carry 6 of these onboard an ambulance. Imagine one 3/4 full as you're bouncing down a street in Yonkers! They really are a nemesis!

The guy with the patch on his eye is really a walking god hero, but the other one looks like a supernatural wierdo

FORSOOTH!!! FOR HE RETURN-ETH!!...eth....

I agree with everyone taking things from a site that you visit is very disrespectful to all the paitents that resided at pennhurst. Everything should be left as it was or where it is. Pictures and Documentation of places should be the only thing you need. Stealing from pennhurst is like a crime in society. I think that stealing something from an abandoned place then transforming it to a lamp is f****** stupid.

The horse power rating is defiantly in the 1,000 to 3,000 range. From the tugs I have been on and some of the engines I have hauled I would say it is most likely around 1,300. Most older tugs were in that range.

Your site has really piqued my curiousity Motts. I have spent a happy week purusing your site and doing research on other sites. I now know who Kirkbride was, what he did for mental health and what he had to do with these vastly different buildings. I did some digging and figured out where this facility is. I'll respect your wish to leave it nameless. The cool thing is knowing that we can also imagine the acitivity going on in these hallways in the future. It will apparently soon be converted to a hotel. If I have the right facility, (and I have been able to match other photographs to yours), they are going to try to save the whole building, as well as construct townhouses and a marina around it. They have a real job ahead of them. I can't imagine how they will safely get all those hanging floors down without damaging the masonry walls or remove all the lead paint, but that is apparently the plan. I wish them well.

The plant looks healthy. As long as it has dirt, sunshine and moisture, it will grow.

I'ld be afraid to take my clothes off in there. LOL

Great shot!! If that was me, I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face. LOL

eeew....snail trails...

I'm surprised they still work. As the building has been abandoned, the juice should be cut off. The water seeping into the walls is gonna short everything out eventually.

I've never seen a wheelchair quite like this one. Must've been the luxury model

Your welcome, Ron
