Lovely photo for the last one. Perhaps the employees had lunch out here. Thank you for sharing the abandoned world of Northville State Hospital with us. It was quite enjoyable.

If I had to be in a place like this, I'd be bowling as much as possible.

This definitely looks like a school auditorium. But salvaging the place...the question is: would it be cost-effective?

That painting seems to say, "I'm watching you."

Well, at least the patients had opportunity for recreation like playing basketball. Nice diversion from a depressing existence.

Yes, Freespirit, something creepy about an empty, abandoned pool. But why exactly I have no idea.

How apropos - a foggy day at an abandoned psych hospital.

As long as the morgue didn't hold any skeletons!

eldokid, I am with you. I just don't get the reason behind smashing things in abandoned buildings. Frankly, there is no reason for it.

This actually looks a tad more cheery than the other hallways.

Out of all the photos so far, this might be the only place in this building where I could work.

The chairs look somewhat comfy, but the rest of the room is just plain filthy. I sure wouldn't want to hang out in here.

Gotta have those broken windows in these places...it's become quite common in Mott's galleries.

Apt descriptions: dreary, moody, drab, depressing, and I'll add mine: dismal.

March 30, 2002 - not that long ago. And they just got up and went bye bye.
