Shows the texture very well.

Must be a pretty big wreath, since it is bigger than the width of the door that is lying on its side.

This shows the actual depth of the enclosure, as opposed to the other previous photo.

I love the yellow accent (light) in the window. The tub is not attached to any plumbing, so maybe it was brought from another room and left there for some reason.

Oh, a wonderful new gallery. Thanks Mr. Motts.

i think i heard about this place on a "ghost hunters" type of show. I explore and photograph mostly New England and northeast US, and i know that when one of those sci-fi shows covers a location, it's usually on a pretty tight lockdown for a few years after the show airs..

As a long time RN and a patient, I also am amazed that all of these records were just abandoned. There is no excuse for leaving this in an empty building. They should have been moved or if not financially possible they should have been destroyed.

Feather, records are very controlled in this day and age. But I am afraid that in times past old records were not as important as they are now. If you think about the past where all of the records were paper, it became a nightmare to provide enough space to store them and a viable method to index them so they could be searched. It is much easier now. The hospital that I worked at for 36 years had storage problems that caused the "old" xrays to be stored in a semi trailer on the back of the property. And that hospital was built in 1977. Now even xrays are available on computer.

This is a wonderful picture. So many different things to look at. Also cranked a few of these beds, but in the early 70's.

Well according to my nursing instructors in the 70's that green was considered (by people that study such things) to have a calming effect on patients. It went along with a yucky pinky beige that was also considered a calming color.

The lighting in this shot is gorgeous!

Yes thank you Tony C. - it sure has a desolated tilting lean
maybe the antique dealers will have it tag along....with the projector.....
"What the H__l" style......

Yes - Tony C. we hope! That is the wish.....and
If the `brats´ steal, break and torch.....a spell will be put on them, so they will never be able to enjoy a movie ever again in their whole lives.............

Prancer and Tony C, I love you both.

It was a good thing I had my lucky sock and glove with me when I noticed the crooked cushion on the chair. Disorder is unacceptable, don't you agree?

Because I was fortified with my lucky charms, I only had to hurl the cushion out the window and smack the chair around the room a few times before the balance of the universe was restored.

We can only HOPE who takes it is a dealer in antiques, or can refurbish it. Otherwise, it will be destroyed by the 'brats' that love to steal, break and torch. :(
