Jesus, when I first clicked to this I nearly jumped out of my chair in creepy fueled shock! Now that I have calmed down....it is some amazing quality of art and it is very sad to see the paper it is on slowly getting ruined and destroying the picture

The Walls Have Eyes....I'm guessing those sockets housed cameras of some sort? Or something else?

It is like someone just pasted samples of wallpaper up all over it. Or could also be artwork like lpn said. Either or, it looks much better than that ugly red/orange paint underneath

"Women in White" sounds like a novelized soap opera heh heh. Such a shame those books are just going to rot away there

I'm guessing they kept these books handy for any Italian immigrant children sent here? Seems like an odd thing to have

Ugh, yellow is such an ugly color I think )X Though that shade of blue along the walls is very pleasing

What is with the names on that back wall? I can make out somethinjg like "Y.R." or "Y.H." above them

Admist this sea of decay rests one VERY bright red object in the background. Seriously, my eyes keep getting drawn to its vibrancy. What was it if you recall?

Nothin' beats a crisp, early morning fall fog and here it just makes everything look surreal

While turning this place into a Halloween horror show is indeed tasteless, least they decided to do that over demolishing everything. I'd rather see it intact as a cheesy haunted house than as a pile of rubble in the woods.

I would give almost anything to have had windows like that in my house, preferably in a library room, to sit down and either just watch out the windows or use the light to read.

Ceiling looks high; and those are very good windows - for a basement. Looks OK.

Ahh hahahaha - nope - too big - too square - not handsome enough, wanderer, Iceberg. Megan - see Taunton Gallery and you will see fine lamps.

it is a urinal for the bedridden.

That book gives a good idea of what I went through in the Shelter behind the Isolation Hospital. I tried to get him to do a piece on me but he was burnt out on the subject and well I'm some guy off the internet.....
