505 Comments for Dever State School

I agree, this definitely makes me think. I hope whoever had the job of watching the laundry brought along a book or something.

I think it was more of a good intentions thing. They painted the room in some kind of a cheery theme, and then lacked the enthusiasm to do anything more with it. Nothing really makes me assume that, I guess, except that's how I see it playing out. Although putting the kid's name on the wall probably made them feel important.

Christ, how depressing if it was just one slide. You know the older kids would totally hog it.

Probably just water damage, but I was thinking of that part in "The Ring" where the chick's in the well and she suddenly finds her hands full of a dead person's hair.

Now that I think about it, it seems like it would have been just easier to have an aide standing by. That way you got the entire room under surveillance, whereas the plexiglass windows just seems, I don't know...inefficient.

Yes, but, then again, it IS just a bathtub.

Thanks again Motts, didn't think it was, I know where this one is and no... I won't reveal:)

No, that isn't the real name of the school.

I know you won't publish where these places are but can you tell my if Dayton State School is the real name? Not asking for the real name but is it Dayton? Thanks Motts.

Ok thank you. Good luck for the continuation!

I've met a few inside, but they've never given me any trouble.

Motts, even not with vendales or tramps ?

I think the bigger issue here is that most folks, myself included, would rather see them saved and preserved than smashed and rotted. It almost seems discrespectfull to all that passed through before to let them simply rot away

I agree with Lynne. Wonderful shot, brilliantly dull colors with an eeiry lighting effect. And the perspective...wow. I feel like I am falling backwards when I gaze at this image. Good show Motts!

Chris from Switzerland, I never had any problems with other exploring types... security guards and workers are a different story though!
