We're looking at the place in an advanced state of decay but I'm sure back then it wasn't as "awful" looking.

----And she waits for the great wrecking-ball.

Just want to thank you, Motts, for "capturing" all these images on film; for someday they will no longer be there to see.

How long has this been empty?

It's people that "love to party" makes places like these being patrolled. I can understand Motts taking pictures, for I would love to do the same thing, but to be destructive at abandoned buildings; it makes it bad for the others that are just curious or interested in the place.

Beautiful. beautiful architecture!! Reminds me of a court house.

This is what I was talking about before; look at this lovely archetechure. To save one or some of these buildings and have the original equipment displayed would make an interesting museum. Or would they rather let it deteriorate and forget it existed?

Actually, I like these pictures, but I don't know if they belong in a mental institution.

They ought to "save" one if these hospitals and have all the original equipment in place in each room to tour. That would be great. I love touring old places; homes, ships; and everything is exactly in it's place.

Pennhurst seems to be in pretty bad shape, compared to others.

Maybe, just maybe, some children or people were happy here. Maybe it was better than what they had at home.

HE'S STILL STEALING SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM!!

Thanks, people; The Ring. Oh, boy, I've tried to forget about that movie.

At my senior high school, we had to walk through a long, dark, drippy tunnel to get to our gym; and that was a regular school!

Maybe they changed the room into something else and HAD to paint over it.
