Forgot to mention- I cannot believe some guests so petty that they stole Curtains? I have heard of stealing hotel towels, but Curtains? Imagine if a hotel or hotel required an inspection of the room before a guest checked-out? No wonder many are requiring guests to give their credit card #s!

Howie (I assume you worked at the Pines), the same happened when my family (my parents, my brother and I- when we were kids) stayed at the Pines years ago. Though I think it was a sheet instead of a blanket, but I might be incorrect.

Crusty!

Woah, this is neat! I clicked the link, and it's a weird piece of time, frozen. One question, though, why brown? I would think any color would have been better for the tub than brown. LOL!! And I LIKE brown; just not on this...lol

This is creeping me out a bit.... the sink looks like the ones in my house, only a different color! ANd mine has the original handles, you know, from 1066. LOL!!!

LOL! I meant spackled. Not spackleed lol!!

I would like to have a phone like this; sure, it had a cord (love the cordless phones!) but you have to appreciate it nonetheless. It is really wild how they spackleed the phone to look like the walls. I wonder if anyone had trouble finding it? LOL!!!

My daughter is looking at these photos with me and she thought this picture was a graveyard at first! I could see what she's talking about, with the green moss and tombstone shaped couches! Wouldn't it be nice to have living moss as a carpet, if it stayed green and didn't get slimy? lol :)

One of a dozen or so UK students working at the Pines in summer of '68. A good time was had by all, if the food was a bit on the restricterd side!. Also worked at Sullivan County Laundry in evenings, and even saw The Who on a night off in the Catskills. Alternately, looked after tidying up the swimming pool or dumping the rubbish. Us UK chaps had the worse jobs!!! Anybody else there at the same time?

Yeah, I'll bet those couches do NOT smell as good as they might look in this photo.

lmao @ D.J.
i think they should have painted most of those old asylums with this color, i love it and think it is soo much more calming then that "gag green" or "atrocious turquoise" they used

i really want to paint my ceiling this color now

Ill admit, im a certified collector of "vintage junk" and will go after almost anything that appears to have been discarded

Yeah i check out dumpsters from all sorts of places if the dumpster isnt guarded anyway. More than once ive been told i cant take something out of one "because its just not allowed"

do you see where it used to say
"no diving"
someone traced in " no diviant"
I'd like to thank them for that in personk!

Howie, You call a move from the Ritz to the Riverdale an upgrade?!
