765 Comments for Taunton State Hospital

Depressing looking room
Would hate to not see that hole in the floor coming through there at night--yikes!
I love the look of "aging beauty" and I agree that it's too bad they couldn't have saved this place. Love the curved walkway!
Love these old hospitals and yay, new gallery!

I should say the original sign on that building which is faded was magenta in color in the faded triangles and the border of the circle. The signs I found on Amazon are yellow where the real ones would be magenta. Its an off purple color specifically used on signage relating to radiation and the nuclear industry.
TAUNTON - The Two-Toned Painting Events - i adore it, a most enjoyable place, indeed.
Look at it from left: beige, light green, beige and then dark green, on the SAME wall - to a light-blue socle base!
Yes, flushed - probably.
Is The Light playing such tricks to my eyes? Probably, hahaha.
But Look at it:
Wall: green + pink - left;
light dove-grey + apricot pink - right....and then the BLUE socle. (Saw blue socle it elsewhere.)
Would like to KNOW a person picking this combination.
Amazing color-event really; Mr. M. Ten Points.
Remends me of the Grande Ballroom in Detroit for some reason.

The more i think about the curved walkway, the more impressed am. Beauty!
Was there just one?
Or is there /one/ more?

TAUNTON. The different color choices. It is so lovely - soft, all the nuances. The ceiling - is it light mild olive green?
Is the socle dove-grey?
The doorway is goodlooking with three standing planks....
AND: there are THREE Hinges on the door. Makes it strong.
Thank You for this fine color study. Love it.

Wolf's Head.....used their motor oil. Great stuff, always noticed whenever I used it the oil pressure was always a bit higher! Great pictures as always. Thank you.
