Such beautiful and intricate photo in black and white. It portray's the the care in the design. Not the the prevention of patients going over the edge, but going over the edge with style.

That's such a beautiful picture. I just found this site today. It's really interesting.

I could think of a few good uses for that table and hooks .... but thats for another website.... ROFLMAO!

it does look kind of like a swinging door

mayby the spiders are trying to fix the poor lonley chair

wow this is the most colorful lonely chair shot so far

it may not be blood but it could possibley have traces of bodliy fluids (not conciderlbly blood though)

ya its like get out theres a fire but blue is such a relaxing color

Maybe you hang buckets on them to catch the goo.

It (the hallway)looks remarkably clean complared to some of the pictures I have seen on here. It almost looks like someone swept .

K Building, at Belchertown State School, had a fenced -in recreational yard called the Bullpen.

Indeed, a small foyer and then a porch.

Would you say it was about as far from where visitors might see the vilent people as possible?

Because of my job I've been to a number of the state hospitals throughout the Commonwealth. In cluding Northampton Had a friend who worked as a SW at Northampton We used to trade war stories

Big dark fingers over the old lady's mouth, stifling a major scream. Or maybe it's a queen with its pointy crowns.

Northampton's Kirkbride plan was altered majorly throughout the years with additions to the wing tips as well as towards the back of the building, I believe this ward was one of the latter.
