One death per day? wow, how many patients did they have during this time?

I like the black and white with the arches, simplistic and beautifully captured!

I get sick of repeating myself - but I cant help it ---
Great Shot!

They're cheap prints, duplicates can be found throughout the wards.

Wonderful perspective!! Feels like looking at a castle somewhere in Europe.

Are those paintings on the walls?

Another very well done shot. A mood well set with the before and after shots. Thank you Motts.

Wow. The before and after images are just powerful. Thank you Motts.

Wonderful capture of the clouds. The overgrown sidewalk and cloudy sky set the mood just right.

Welcome home...sanitarium!!!!!! *cue guitars*

Cold and creepy. The undisturbed nature of the snow underscores that there's no life here, and hasn't been any for a very long time. One of the best shots on this whole site.

that's not a guage, those are guages on top, that is the temperature recorder. those colored arms are styluses(pens)and the whole wheel moves ina circle, it works like a record player, with the styluses moving around to record tmeperature, the circle is a paper wheel that is meant to be changed after each use

I believe it's supossed to be a picture of the main building

this isn't a chair it's an old amsco 1080 model or table. I could def use parts from thsi table as they are hard to come by these days

Is the morgue still there, is it possible to get part sform there (ie the doors, tracks, stops, handles, etc?) I do alot of repair work for the city medical examiner's(OCME) and queens, brooklyn and bellvue still have the old equip which is hard to come by.
