It's still sitting there, a burned out shell of what it once was... I believe whatever is left inside will be salvaged soon.

This room is located in the large, newer building on the campus; administration was located in the center of the old Kirkbride building.

This is the first time I've seen a shot that I desperately wish for as wallpaper (that isn't already wallpaper).

I love all the shots.. I introduced myself in the forum and promised to post some of my own (incredibly inferior) pics, but I've been lost in your galleries for literally *weeks* and haven't gotten around to it,

But this photo... wow. Maybe it's the red. (I collect red glass.) Maybe it's the floor and ceiling. Don't know, but I'd PAY for this as wallpaper!!!

I can always count on the comments section of Opacity to entertain. This thread has got to be one of the most memorable ones yet.

Fan People. I had no idea there were such critters. **chuckling**

I think the pipe across the ceiling is the retrofitted electrical conduit for the lights. They're in every room and I don't see a sprinkler head.

But I could be totally wrong, too.

Quick, where's spidergirl with an off-the-wall comment about the torturous treatment the innocent patients received in this hellish chamber??

(Sorry. I just HAD to.) XD

Did they ever decide what to do with the property once the fire gutted part of the Kirk? I have not found any recently updated info on it... it's like everything just stopped once it burned.

Maybe it was re-abandoned?

Isn't this the admin building? So there probably wouldn't have been patients looking out of these windows at all, let alone ones who felt "trapped."

Beautiful gallery, btw.
