BUILDING 23 HOUSED THE SCHOOL OF NURSING. THIS IS SURE NOT HOW I REMEMBER IT IN '78.

I worked in bldg 25 in 1982 as an "MHTAT". I remember being trained by RN's to administer meds. I was a nervous wreck. In the summer, the wards had NO AC. Just really big fans . In 1986, I worked there again as an RN. This picture brings back alot of memories.

I had my job interview on the 2nd floor in 1982. I was hired for bldg. #5 as an LPN. I remember the scale model of the hospital. Orientation was held in the old library for Pilgrim's nursing school.

I applied to nursing school here in '64 and was invited to spend the day touring the facility. I remember the nightmares I had that night of when our bus approached the building. No way I could spend three years there!

So - is this place really haunted?? I drive through there sometimes at night, and it definately is the scariest place around here!!! Has anyone ever witnessed anything creepy?

People go in there and take the scrap metal all the time. I think they like get permission from OMH and go in and take the scrap metal.

Kafka's turning in his grave. Just hard to visually comprehend.

It figures! Admin would get the finest windows and views. Nothings changed.

I thought it was a bed of some kind

it looks like it would be a pic of the main building and yes it's sad it prolly was a sad broken home

very creepy

I love the saying

reminds me of the movie the lasy house on the left

my grandmother worked in the dinning room for many, many years. i remember going there when i was 3 or 4 yrs. old with her . i am now 51, and it's weird to see these pictures ! it still looks spooky !

The smoke stacks made us curious as for what was behind them, a whole city that was and still is engrained in many, who grew up in the surrounding towns. Take the ten speed and a flashlight with trusted friends and let your mind wonder. 1986/89 edgewood was another. Oh the memories of childhood, THANK YOU for your website and desire. A Good person indeed.
