I think those five tubed holes was not only for the purpose of ventilation but also so the they could hear voices, Not only the ones in the heads.

Working in the medical field as a CNA I seen a lot of things that happens with Feces ( poop, chit, shit, BM. )

Wow amazing photo Motts, what a great idea!

Species 2 and red dragon but there are two walkways that look exactly alike basically.

Simplistic, artistic, excellence of a photo.

That's so cool!

My uncle worked there for many years and his name was Kenneth . Makes me wonder

Awsome Shot Mr. Motts. Keep up the wonderful job u do.

It also reminds me of Pandora's Box opening up....Everybody look out! Annoter great creative shot, Motts!

Answering a question by someone earlier, the John Waters movie " Cry Baby" shot a few scenes here. Johnny Depp played cry baby.

So strange to think my maternal Grandmother died here :(

These places hold a great deal of intrigue for me. Now in neglect, they were once deemed important, giving shelter or providing services of some kind or other--a stopping point for the lives that passed through there. Now vacant, they seem like colossal monuments to futility.

the only kind of excrement smearing I've heard about was a special(handicapped or retarded) student at my school in the bathroom..out of the stall. The bathroom hasn't been open since, which has been years.
