It is so sad to think how the mentally ill were treated way back, and how the disabled have come so far thanks to federal and state funding. They have group homes,and day programs where a lot of disabled folks get out into the community,and work jobs. Some have staffing,and some are independent enough to be there themselves. Unfortunately, now through hard times the federal gov. is making all kinds of cuts in programs,and cutting programs by massive amounts,where their actually going to be literally kicking some of these poor souls out of the programs that they fought so long and hard to get. The question is where will they go to live? Let's hope not back to something like this again.

At first glance, at least to me, I thought it was a gym. But then glancing at it somemore,with the curtains up on the windows,it probably was some kind of a ballroom. t looks like it has a hardwood floor

you would think that with all the wheel chairs ,and geri chairs that they have in tons of pics,why would they have a staircase like this? Who would be able to climb them?

Patrick, thanks for the link to the inside pictures. They are great. I think I am completely spoiled by Motts now though. As I looked through them I couldn't help thinking, "I wish Motts had been able to go in. His pictures would be so much better."
