"I must say people are projecting their own issues onto this picture"

Replace "this" with "these", add an "s" to picture, and apply it to the entire site, and you have a truth that applies to most, if not all of the user comments.

There's a year's worth of reading in there and/or if you got little kids...a year's worth of scrap paper!!

Wheelchairs, and so that you can push it open with your foot, if your arms are..full.

This place was closed in the 90's? It looks like the places that were closed some twenty years earlier.

Somebody needed firewood?

Reminds me of an office building I ventured into a few years ago. The computers and phones were exactly where they were when the place closed up a couple years earlier. They had a filing cabinet full of floppy disks. I didn't think of taking any, but instead going for the paper files, and I got a full stack of inter-office memos which covered everything from personal phone calls to what kind of music should be played in the office. All very interesting.

And yes, I started with Netscape too. (LOL)

I love Skinner!

Please don't stop , I love the sound of your voice, even if it only a recording.

i visited a prison (drug offenses, assaults, break and enter, etc) as part of a university course, I was stricken by how all they have to do is walk around all day in circles in rooms just like these, marginalizing furthur.

I don't sympathize with criminals, but I DO comdemn the notion of "social punishment" as a tool other than deterance, which doenst work ANYWAY. POSITIVE reinforcement, as B.F. Skinner showed, is a MUCH easier and reliable tool than negative reinforcement.

Don't you think OTHER wannabe "vampires" come here as well? Of course, since most gothic people are immature teenagers, I guess while "Prince Arathor" wasn't looking, his buddy "Coven Moranon" succumbed to a little teenage potty humor urge.

Green? Ever see trees?

Oops after I mean!!

I grew up in a large Victorian house that was converted into a nursing home before we moved there. The cellars looked exactly like this!!!

I daresay like most other institutions, the patients were mostly calm, just a bit "off" so to speak. The people commenting on here seem to have this romantic "gothic" view of these buildings, as in, that everything is dark, and full fo THEMES. Sometimes, crazy just means unable to adhere to soceities norms.

Its much better that these buldings evolve than be torn down. Like people, everything has its place in time.
