576 Comments for Haverford State Hospital

i LOVE that roof...

it's actually in the recreation building directly across from hilltop.

It's a shame how vandalized Haverford State has become, but i would agree with others that it's probably better to just take it down now. The administration building has already seen the commercial end of a backhoe (as of 6/23/07)

Mr. Motts your photos are an inspiration...also makes me sad I am at a desk and not out taking photos myself!

this reminds me of when I was a child aka orphange. I remember being wheeled down many of many corridors to watch something I dont remember to what was called a theater. The nurse told it was going to be ok. I remember it being very very dark. this was when I was4 years old. wayyyy back in the 60's

Autoclaves can also be used for heat treating componants, & have a high internal pressure so it's not a good idea to open one when it's running.

I remember seeing something about the Brazilian case, originally they were stripping it down for the lead shielding & found a load of glowing blue dust.

I grew up near here. My mother did volenteer work at the hospital. She tells a story of a bridal shower for one of the staff members where someone had the great idea of dressing up two white mice as bride and groom. The mice escaped and for a while the mice were sighted around the hospital but none of the staff would admit they saw a mouse dressed as either bride or groom.

One of my class mates was sent here and a friends brother was sent here. It was a way of sweeping a problem under the carpet.

At the end my mother stopped going because she couldn't stand the way the patients were over medicated and no one would listen to her.

GOOD ! Thank you Andrew for responding.

I hope that they turn this land into a nice park with trees and running water.
