Very powerful picture

I've seen that color in many abandoned schools and hospitals for some reason..the color of the radiator (Mylanta green as i call it) lol

Update as of July 2014: Sadly, the mural room has been defaced by vandals. I've interviewed a few historians from Kings Park. The Crosby claim is an interesting part of the history of the place: some people believe Crosby to be the painter because he is actually depicted in the mural, as the figure with the ascot. The figures seem to match Crosby's style, especially the noses, which mark his signature style. However, I interviewed a man who worked in 93 and actually met Crosby a few times, and he believed that Crosby was too frail and manic to have painted the mural. It is a possibility that the mural was painted by someone who was tutored by Crosby, as he still sketched and painted during his stay at the hospital. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that we will have an answer now that the mural has been destroyed. I'm glad these pictures exist, because they're preserving a part of the hospital's history.

Hey Tiny, no need to be a dick. Looks like anything from the picture.

Pretty cool. Didn't find any cans but got a bronze otis medallion.

What can i say about the hall of doors as i entered there was a very eery silence as i entered this hall of demon doors ive never seen so many orbs flying around it is very scary as u enter as i was looking in the rooms i heard very scary voices talking and crying and evil screams as i was leaving every door u see in this picture slammed shut so hard it was really scary so i went back in to investgate the doors all came open at once!!! I was so scared i peed my pants and ran out as i was running out i was shoved into the 2nd room on the right side of the hallway of horror the door got slammed shut on me and i was locked in and coould not get out its a good thing i was with a few friends that were standing down the oppsite end of the hall and they helped me escape the evil hallway of horror!!!!

This was taken with a Canon 300D (Digital Rebel, first edition) with a Tamron 17-35mm lens. The camera is pretty old nowadays, but that lens was pretty decent.

What camera and lense did you use for this amazing shot

I worked as a TA in the Admissions Bldg as well as the bldg. next to it. I cannot remember which, but I think it was 121 and 122. I have to say that on my ward I never saw any abuse of any patients there. To see people allege this terrible abuse is appalling and insulting to those of us who worked there who really cared. I left the in 1986 to move out of state, but I always missed my job there. I still do. It was not an easy job and the guy in that video was dead on wrong. We had been attacked many times by patients and had to tackle them to the floor to restrain them for their safety and the safety of others. If we were not in danger, why did the state pay us Hazard Duty Pay? We tried talking them down, bribing with cigarettes anything, but have to tackle them, but sometimes we had to. We had to show some type of authority and firmness, but not abusiveness. I can't answer for all the bldgs., but on my ward, no abuse occurred. I wish people would stop making all TA's look bad. It wasn't like that everywhere. I'll bet some of those saying those things never even worked there!

This reminds me of the video game "Silent Hill"

This is the Boiler Feedwater controller for one of the four Boilers onsite.

This is the underfire air blower,which supplied air to the Boilers travelling grate(where the coal was sitting) under pressure during operation

The catwalk allowed you to operate the augers in the middle,so the coal would drop into the correct hopper (the big pit below),which would then feed it into the Boiler by overfeed stoker.
Worked there in the bad ol' days........

it's pretty sad to know that a place once so pretty is destroyed. it should be saved ; a lot of work but would be saved!
