I really enjoyed the gallery, Motts. Can't wait til you get back with more wonderful photos to share with us and stories as well. Keep safe. Enjoy yourself. Can't wait to see more pictures!! I know there'll be awesome!! Watch for those soap dispensers. They appear when you least expect it......LOL.....

If were talking cookies I want mine to be warm chocolate chip ones just right out of the oven ok.......there like the best. With the holidays around the corner snickerdoodles too are always welcomed as well.......Nice photo again Motts!!

No privacy again. I wonder if they had more than one patient in each of those tubs? That would seem very strange really. Ice baths. Ugh. That is suppose to help a patient? Sounds totally cruel to me. I'm sure staff was present. Unfortunately sometimes the staff can make issues worse instead of being helpful. What a shame really.

It must have taken alot to heat these rooms since it doesn't look like the windows would keep the heat in alot. Not much insulation really. Nice photo again, Motts!!

Great shot Motts. What a total mess. Its still a shame they could've tried to reuse this building for something.

No I don't think I'd like this much.....how dehumanizing. I do understand why it was done but no privacy even in the bathroom? Wow......scary really.

I have to say thats a very interesting read. So I'm guessing that Gennie was a patient there right? As much as her records or info should be private...it is interesting. I would've liked to have been that girl naked for those photos though...she must have been frozen. Ugh!!! Plus the paint all over her. Interesting concept for pictures and getting a persons story across. Nice photo again Motts!!!

Yeah all those windows wow....no privacy thats for sure. That wouldn't be fun at all. Its interesting to see there are 2 shades left on any of those windows at all? Nice pic Motts!!

Great photo again Motts. The picture kinda makes me sad. I bet it was beautiful at one time.....

Its a shame they couldn't have saved this place also. It was probably a beautiful building at one time. Such a waste really. Great photo....Motts....

Thanks for the new gallery of photos, Motts....always love to see new pictures of yours. Wonderful as always. Thanks for the article too. Great to see you getting kudos for your work!! Have a wonderful trip....can't wait for more new galleries!! On to this one now........ :)

another great photo gallery

wow this is awesome! why don't some people think the same thing?

Hello, wallpaper!

Reminds me of my old daycare center, except we didn't even have the dividers! You just had to try to pull your shirt over your knees. Yes, this is one of the memories that led me to be a SAHM!
