Someone should find the binder and document it. I have an odd feeling it may be important to do so.

I live a few miles from the place. Having moved here after it had closed, I had no idea of the nature of the institution. My god, I thought it was just a reform school. How I wish that were the case...

in that case, we are very lucky to have an abandoned institution in such an artistic condition. im from around philly, so as soon as i get my liscense[2 years] i plan to check this place out. i find it more appealing than byberry, due to the fact that the vandalism isnt quite as appaling and image- ruining. thanks for the site! keep up the great work!

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I didn't move anything around in there, as I usually don't.

Motts, are these pictures of the state school as-is, or did you move things around to get this look? either way i absoloutly adore these photos and plan to eventually decorate with these prints. They are beauty in the simplist form.

this photo is beautiful. the sadness you feel for those who had to live there is almost unreal. i cant wait to get to pennhurst to get some of my own photos. <3

Better the Lynne than the spidergirl of bathroom fixtures, I mean your toilets would be too tortured and depressed to flush. I guess you could say they'd feel like shit :-)

Anybody ever consider they were there simply for decoration?
