ok my turn to take shower you been in shower for 4 years though

The picture didn't scare me! I recognized immediately that it was a guy wearing a mask, and I was so happy to learn that it was Motts! I've always wondered, Motts, if you've worn a mask on your many excursions into these very old buildings. I was so happy and relieved to find out that you do! I've known more than one person who has died from mesothelioma. Anyway, from one photographer to the other, I really love your photos! Keep up the good work!

I was here and took a photo almost identical to this one, haha.

I worked at Bldg. 138 from1984 until 1987 as an MHTA.I have many memories escorting patients through this corridor to go to dinner.

my camera was messy up and the only way I was allowed to take a photo was when I put my hand in side
this is creepy
I think we need to find out the truth and respect the fact that humans were not treated right of all kinds. It is sad to know that it took what happen in these places to really understand that there some things that we are born with. it does not meen that those people are less then us they just got a diff hand then us and that it is our duty to be a human and help and understand.

First floor, by the loading docks in the back.

Does any one know what floor this is on because we went all the way up and couldn't find it

A detour, today, from the "New Galleries," because of the very fine good renovation of the Site, and the most intriguing wonderful picture, took me back to Kings Park Psychiatric Center Building 93, and a moment, or two, to recognize. It is absolutely awesome, beautiful and foreboding, dark and looming. Well done. A favorite. Best wishes for success always.

Rear entrance, by the loading docks.

Where can you find the morgue in this building?

I forgot who tried to "rescue" the piece, but the painter is believed to be Percy Crosby, author of the comic strip Skippy. He was committed at Kings Park in 1949 and died at the hospital in 1964.

I wonder if the person who took the chunk out was the person depicted in the painting? Maybe he thought he'd be recognized? It just seems odd that it would only be a chunk with a couple faces gone rather than it being a clean-cut chunk with more of the painting.

Thanks flushed! I'm not really a plant expert, but I saw them and thought they were nice.

King Shan Yu that looks like Forsythia which blooms with yellow flowers in early spring and then leaves out in a dark green for the summer.

The flowers at the bottom are quite pretty.
