Long Island, thats really funny, we kinda did the same thing, but we would tie them to bricks and sink them in the harbor or rip of their limbs, chew the ends and leave them around the house for our mom to find. she was under the impression that the house was haunted for like, 10 years. Im not saying how old I was when I did this though

Don't think they really allowed photographers inside to take pictures of the operations of the state hospitals, partly due to confidentiality, and they also didn't want the public to know what went on behind closed doors...but yes it would be cool to see this cleaner, newer with people in it. Probably looked less imtimadating

Me & my friends are going and we are going to explore. My mom said the morgue isn't there anymore. But i still will look. Everyone in my school goes there ..its sort of like an adventure. They still have met state through this path as you are going up the the apartments. They are planning to tear them down cus kids are ruining the place and the city doesnt want them to get hurt.

This is a great pic.
I live in the apartments they renovated this place into.
They made these into trash disposals, I believe.
Its so hard to imagine that this place used to be an asylum, its absolutely beautiful now(:

I wonder if people who live here now have ever seen these pictures...

Would that perhaps be a water tower? Love your work, very talented. I'm going through all your galleries, one by one. As someone (Nancy?) said, it is terrible the waste - what we see in Motts' photos like chairs, desks, medical equipment etc., and the waste of history and beautiful buildings.
