I don't think there was a reason other than varying designs... the older asylums tend to have the vertical "jail-style" bars over the windows or the crossed pattern here, and newer facilities and renovated areas usually have a dense metal mesh such as these http://www.opacity.us/image3589_screened.htm which seem to be from the 50's era and beyond, or the older padlocked bars from the 20's and 30's http://www.opacity.us/image526_vines.htm

The latter designs could be opened in case people needed to be rescued from a fire, the other ones were more permanently placed.

I just visited this place (old main) last Saturday (I drove up from Hartford Ct area). Yeah, the place is amazine; even more so than these incredibly well-done pictures depict. There are about five places to enter, obviously in the basement. I found one on a stairwell so I quickly got to lighted floors. The windows in the doors to the small rooms says it all...Steve.

It was a lavatory. Interesting how the glass bricks give it an different take.

johnny mac: that would be a scary moment, he was probably as scared of you as you were surprised ot see him looking right back at you. how long did you work in this field if you do not mind me asking.

I just wanted to give you an update on what happened to that string. It gathered up by experts in the field of archeology and given to Prez, he as our most glorious leader forwarded to Northampton, England to be placed in an honored place that the Norhamptonites call the museum of odd stringy things. Hey, great question.

Aside from the creepies, freakies and the eeeyou, one must look at at another way. I remember a very strange fellow who was in seclusion in a room very simuliar to this one. I looked in the little window to check on him and we both met each others face. We both yelled and scared the shit out of both of us. I

I conversed with a nurse who used to work at the old wreck. She told me that these old wards smelled bad. It's sort of like the corner wall at the right. It really was ashes to ashes dust to dust. All the old odors of years and years of human inhabitation it was processing itself and releasing all the bad odors that had built up in it's walls.

The blood is great but, how about the way the light glows off her skin with an opal tint. Now that is amazing.

She is truly wanting someone to hold on to and she is reaching out to claim that someone...her prince of enchantment, maybe.

This is so awesome! She had spunk to lay in that tub. She seem as if she died and now laying for her prince to kiss her back to life. That blood cascading into the tub drain is so awesome. So life-like.

That stain looks like dripping blood. And she very mesmerized by said stain.

She seem be very determined leave this place. She maybe thinking of way to escape and when she does, watch out!

I need HELP! I went to see my comments and there was another person by Sandy, and now confused. I think here on out, I put Sandy Ann.. as that my name and middle name, that way, no confuse. I knew no me, because I no visit anything but abandonded mental hospitals. Thanks.

Yep, she is frustrated and feel anguish in her heart for not be able escape and reunite with her prince of enchantment. I can really feel this in my soul. Candice is magic when comes to model for you, Motts. I like much this!

It feels as if she is angry for not be able escape and now she is feeling quite frustrated. This is what photo say to me.
