When my friends and I used to come here we parked in this very courtyard. The entrance to it was covered with trees and you could just drive in and hide your car in the back behind the last set of balconies while you explored.....you can kinda see some tire tracks still

I agree with Mike. I lived in Ypsi for a while and this hallway would be freezing in the winter.

I worked at this place from 1979 through 1980. I was 19 years old when I started working at Ypsilanti State Hospital. I was a Resident Care Aide III. In 1980, they changed the name to Ypsilanti Regional Psychiatric Hospital. At the time, I was also a student at Eastern Michigan. I was able to do quite a bit of studying on the job. I remember when they painted those "rainbows" on the walls. It believe it was in the summer of 1979, when they did the painting. Working at YRPH was quite an eye-opener for a 19 year old. Ohhhh.... the stories and images from that place I have emblazened into my mind.
