I can't figure out which one, but there is someone staring back at me from one of those windows - and I can't help them.......=(

If you notice, the metal wrapping the posts is stainless steel. Intersting that they would be this far off the floor for use as a surface protector. It also appears that the concrete from the metal to the floor is newer then the other concrete surfaces and doesn't appear to be stained or discolored from time . I think they may have been put in prior to the facility closing as reinforcement for the columns.

What's waiting 'round the corner at the bottom?

I recently got an evp outside of the hospital building that said ''what's that?'' as soon as I turned on my digital recorder. I also hear a metallic bang near the Rockwell building evertime I'm there. I am going alone to investigate inside the Rockwell building sometime soon before it gets cold.

pair of eyes in the dark i see.................

People who say stupid things and make comments about this place do not realize what went on behind closed doors. You are sick and disgusting people if you can look at these photos and laugh or think this place is "sweet" Take it from someone who knows a survivor of Pennhurst who can live to tell you the horror they went through. It is far from sweet. In no way should any person be treated the way these individuals were, and there is no excuse what so ever for our society to justify the living hell these people went through!

So before you go and talk your smart comments and make your jokes read the stories, do the research and put yourself in their shoes. Not so funny anymore is it???

If you look to the far right it seems as if there is a devilish face in the hole......

One can not be acused of "housing" these unfortunate souls in run down buildings. Yhey went all out when it came to the architecture.. it appears that no money was too much to build these fantastic facilities. II would love to have seen any and all of these hospitals, asylums etc. on their opening days.

I NEED A SPOON NOT A NAPKIN!

I have a picker PX 351C machine manufactured 1976. I am sending it off to a hospital in Peru. I am looking for a manual. If anyone know where I can find one please contact me.

Looking at this makes me feel really angry for some reason...

Sorry my mistake. I thought Motts had posted the comment....Anyhoo...Well said G. Dammann........
