What are the black thngs on the stairs

I grew up at 115 Pennhurst Road (that;s the last house on the right going up the road toward the hospital from bridge street). I was born shortly before the institute was shut down but my parents say that at night you could hear the screamers and that sometimes the patients wandered off and they'd have to steer them back in the right direction. I'm only now getting interested in the place I grew up only meters from. The history of the place seems long and very sad. Thanks for all the great shots. It looked very diffrent at 14 with a flashlight and 5 of your buddies!

if it was like that it most of made them more insane...thinking there deformed

There is something evil about that bed... Just a gut feeling...

Ceramic Tile.... Those surfaces will last forever...

Kinda looks like an old radio....

Just a few explanations I found on colors influance on patients.... Kind of Interesting....

Red
Brings warmth, energy and stimulation, therefore good for energy, fatigue, colds, chilly and passive people. Red energizes heart and blood circulation, it builds up the blood and heightens a low blood pressure. Energizes all organs and the senses hearing, smell, taste, vision and touch.

Orange
Orange is warm, cheering, non-constricting. Orange has a freeing action upon the body and mind, relieving repressions. Orange shows new possibilities and other options in life. Stimulates creative thinking and enthusiasm, and helps assimilate new ideas.It is also helpful in dealing with excess sexual expression.

Yellow
Yellow helps strengthen the nerves and the mind. It helps awaken mental inspiration and stimulates higher mentality. Thus, it is an excellent color for nervous or nerve-related conditions or ailments. It also energizes the muscles. Dark yellow soothes pains in the nerves (shooting pains)

Green
Green is the color of Nature and the earth. It is balance and harmony in essence and possesses a soothing influence upon both mind and body. It is neither relaxing nor astringent in its impact

Gold
Absolute authority, (self)confidence, creativity, perfection, male energy, financial riches, investments, luxury, winning, worldly power, magickal power, overcoming bad habits/addictions.

spidergirl, just in case you didn't fully read the posts (I know, big words hurt) most UE people follow the "Take only pictures, leave only footprints" rule. In other words, if you brought it with you, it leaves with you, otherwise it stays.
