Gorgeous couch. Looks like something that I would have gladly put in my living room - assuming that 1) I could get it up the stairs, and 2) I could AFFORD it. Pretty, though; in its heyday it must have been beautiful.

That's interesting Jessie... First good thing I heard about the place.

I went with my buddies this morning 4/19/08. We were able to get into the second floor window, the whole place is vandalized and there's a lot of bat shit every where. It's creepy but yet at the same time, it's vandalized to such an extent you can't focus.

It's quite interesting to notice some of the drawings on the wall, and it's surprisingly terrifying exploring the rooms.

Someone has to defend the place, I was in the Children's Unit in 68/69, and had a wonderful time there! (Much better than my home life!) The counselors, and teachers were most caring, compassionate, and helpful to me. Obviously this changed after I
left. I just wrote my memoirs of my time there
for my family archives, and had nothing but
good things to say! It was a profound education, and helped make me who I am today, forty years later. I am saddened by what
has happened to the staff, and facilities, but I have my pleasent memories! (And no, I wasn't psychotic, nor ever on medication, so
we can't blame that for my "happy memories"!

I was a patient there in the late 70- early 80's the children unit was a hell hole, with many lost soles. I think they should bring all of the child abuses who called thenselves staff and blow them all up with the childrens unit

Your right the secrets of what happened there are horrible. My mother was a patient there for 2 years in the early 70's. In the late 80's we got her records from there for her new Dr. and he said its amazing she is as normal as she is. She had enough shock therapy to fry 3 people the Dr said.
