does anyone else see the face in the floor next to the door jam near the light switch

That photo leaves a very ominous feeling within. I bet it was used for hydrotherapy. A not so relaxing "therapy" used to treat mental illness.

Stuart probably wasn't the patient. They don't put pt's names on doors in hospitals! They don't even do that in prisons. Only in movies they do that. It was probably the name of the ward or hall or a postion of a hospital worker who had their office in there. It also could have been the last name of someone who had a permanet office there.

awesome ! and as usual, twug your writing just adds to the pic. you got some talent of your own

whew, i thought i was actualy gonna have to bring up the soap dispenser. cool shot

It always warms my heart to look at this site...the amazing pictures...the Amazing places!!! Places that I will never be fortunate enough to see...being born a generation too late...This Truly is like no other Urban Exploration sites I've seen...Top Notch...and God Bless You that you are preserving these buildings for people to see always...if only in fixer and print paper...

...or not... ha ha...

Well that's incredibly creepy. The fact that they were there before it fell into ruins...

I can only imagine what this looked like in it's prime.

Hahaha for some reason all I saw when I first looked at this picture is the fire exit sign! XD But *is crazy* now I see the room! Great shot! XD

I find it really sad that these rooms are ever needed... but I guess it is to help keep people safe. This world is a strange place.... Anyway... nice shot! =)

Mr. Motts, had a strange hobby.
Collecting clothes,
Moonshine,
Washingline. They suit him fine!.......

this is something out of a horror movie. a guy goes to an abondoned asylum and is looking around taking pictures. Suddenly a door like this closes on you and freaky insane looking people start observing you through the window as if you're the insane one.

Re: Bill Door first comment. You said people don't get tortured in there now... who knows what went on back when the room was constructed. Stories of abuse and torture might never have surfaced because a) it wasn't considered torture or abuse back then more the a form of treatment and b) many of the patients in that room were disabled and may have been unable to verbalise their concerns, or not have been believed by anyone back then because they had a mental disability. Back then people did not have the understanding or compassion that todays society has for people who suffer from mental disabilitiies.

Lol u and your soap despencers
