It was an admin building, it is so grown over now you cant see it if you dont know it is there.

I was there roday, and I am alongside with DaveP, becays there were some kids that must have had energy because there is an overgrown baseball field behind the children's hospital and this suggests al\tleast some of the patients were active, also I found a pamphlet on occupational therapy(doing active things to help you recover like crafts or learning a trade) in the childrens bldg.

Man I love this place most out of all the urban ruins i have visited

I was at Glenndale just this afternoon. i spent 4 hours exploring teh grounds, I had not visited the place in at least 6 years and boy have things changed. I was amazed by the presence security made. But with a (using Mott's own words)"little stregtic planning" my wife and I had a fairly easy time gaining entry to all 4 main building and the staff dormitory bldgs. in addition to the adult and children's hospitals there are 2 smaller ward buildings connected by a spectacular breezeway, a mansion I assume the president of the hosptal lived in, and many scattered smaller buildings that loked like housing for staff who ranked a little higher than a run of the mill nurse. I had to wear my running shoes and I cannot stress enought how dangerous this place is if you don't have experience in urban exploration. this place was a deathtrap with unsturdy stairwells, wholes in the floor, bums, and COPS(not security guards). I grew up 5 miles from the place and I have over 10 years experence with teh compound, so take it from me, KEEP YOUR KID AWAY FROM THERE FOR HIS OWN SAKE and enjoy Mott's pictures instead of going there because the risks are not worth the $2000 fine and jail you might get if they get you.

Motts - I took about 160 pictures today so E-mail me if you want to see them


***side note - I saw a cop car every 15 min nomatter where I was on the 200+ acre gorunds today

Sometimes we use humor because it is the only way to deal with that which is horrifying. Any morgue, but especially that of children in a place such as this, is something most of us choose not to think about. I was at first offended by the comment from Max, but then I remembered my sister and I going to pick out our mother's casket. Humor was the only way we could keep from cryiing and was in no way a sign of disrespect. On the other hand, If Max is truly a callous individual, God bless him in his ignorance. ;->

Who is the person by the door (getting ready to go in?). I recently was told about this place by my son (appears the kids look at Glenn Dale as a Haunted Place to encounter). So I started doing internet searches to see what I can find. Again the question I'm sure you have been asked quite a bit (How did you manage to get on the grounds in the daylight without being caught?) Do you work for or affiliated with Maryland National Capitol Park / Planning? or the Development Firm that is handling the Glenn Dale Golf Course (turning into Residential Homes?) Just curious since the rumors are very high in police survelience and sorts.

I would guess they wheeled the children out in their beds to get fresh air and sunlight.

What did the kids do up there? Just sit?

Wow, I know exactly where GlennDale is. Its very beautiful, in an eerie spooky kind of way. You take amazing pictures, keep up the good work! If you want, I can give you a couple more places in that state (not disclosing location)

I don't believe in ghosts but i do have quite an experience to tell about glenndale involving an awesome girlfriend and first kisses, etc ;-) We did hear some laughing off in the woods behind it toward electric ave but i'm guessing one of the bachelors in the houses on that street was having quite a rockin party. but you can include my spawning romance in your book if you like :-)

it is sad and I don't think that the comment was funny, people have no compassion for the dead .. and the all cap's to me tell's me they are young teens that have way to much time on their hands and are doing to many drugs, cap's =yelling not netiquite

I've never been able to find the childern's morgue. Hmm. I mean, I've never been there before.

You should make this one into wallpaper also great pic! great site!
