I love the fact that it seems to be untouched by vandals

never bored with these pics of all the stuff that is left behind. so amazing. it's like they said “ok everyone, you all got two hours to get out.take it or leave it"

I had always wondered about that. I would hate for my medical records to just be left where anybody and everybody would be able to read them. Not that there is anything there that would really be of interest but still the idea that somebody could know about my conditions and not be my doctor is kind of creepy.

Beauty amongst the decay....awesome shot.

This is a great shot, Mr.Motts. And the glass on the light isn't even cracked. (That we can see)

Is that a needle that I see in the plastic bag under the unopette? Creeeepyyyy.....

Thanks, yes the place is still around.

I don't know if it is the case with this particular institution, but perhaps they missed the golden age of demolition where many contaminants didn't need to be specially removed (asbestos, lead, etc). Now with a growing set of EPA laws being put into effect, the cost to tear things down far outweighs the inconvenience of having a decaying building next door. Either it'll burn down (naturally or "unnaturally") or it'll collapse in on itself (demolition by neglect). I believe once a building has gone past a certain point of stability, it can be demolished more leniently and cost effectively under the law.

Goodbye sad lonely chair.....does this place still stand or is it long gone by now, Motts?? Either way great job on the pictures as usual. Its strange that a used building is close to it. I wonder why they either don't use it or get rid of it? How sad really. If its cost effective maybe they'll re-use it but it sounds as if its been abandoned for some what 30yrs now.....It would propably cost too much $$ to repair now. Sad really....how sad. Yes patient or employees would be nice to hear from if possible.....Thanks again Motts!! : )

That is really gross......yuck!! It needs to go in the trash....thats for sure!!
