I really like this shot

Lynne, well said.
I still can't help feeling sorry for the people who were bathed so openly though, its part of the tragedy of having an Illness where you have to rely on others to take care of your every need.

I agree it is an odd statement to have on this entrance... For a Hospital / Institution that held Psychiatric Patients to have this "Motto" on its Archway seems kind of out of place, I wonder exactly what the point was ?

Kind of shocking at the "personal" aspect of it all. Makes me really wonder what kind of people "Chris" and "Tyrone" really were.

Great shot!

They look like pipe insulation, they might contain asbestos I'm not sure.

I think the windows were frosted, and yep that's the fridge on the right.

Now a Utica crib - that makes me gag and shiver. :-(

Lynne, I look forward to your comments the most! :-)

Okay, before I allow my goosebumps to get goosebumps..... Is it a friend of yours standing in the doorway????

This picture reminded me of the origin of the Term "Kicked the Bucket"
In the old days in England, when one was in jail, it was literally a cage of iron bars and you were given a bed of straw and a bucket . The bucket was where you ate / drank from and (believe it or not) was also your toilet. Prisoners were often forgotten about and left to starve. Obviously conditions were bad and many committed suicide by tieing a piece of clothing to the top bar and placing it around their neck,, standing on the bucket and then kicking it out from under themselves... Hence the term - He kicked the Bucket. (sorry, couldnt resist telling it given the picture)

no doubt an interesting picture... thats my fav part bout exploring.. when u get to see something and try to imagine what it was like back when it wasnt abandon... almost as if your in a forgotten world

Daym! thats old!

Motts, what are those rolled up things on the floor?Are they asbestos tubes?

wow, what a mess. Im surprised no one thought to dispose of the syringes and Mercury kind of dangerous leaving that stuff behind...
