more likd a cagee!

it jus puts it all into context, that this way a real working place and all these chairs and other objects were used of a daily basis at some point and now they sit there waiting ti be used again.

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS stuff in here

Honestly, I know that "Lynne" hasn't posted here for several years, but I've been going through many of the galleries and I'm just honestly annoyed with her responses to everyone. While it is true that there are many dedicated, caring and decent workers in the mental healthcare field (and I am sure that she is one of them), abuse and conditions that seem completely inhumane to our eyes now were accepted and completely normal turn of the century and even up into the 1950s-60s. Not to mention that this particular facility was well-known for its poor treatment of patients. I'm sorry, 74 patients don't file a class-action lawsuit for absolutely no reason. I think Lynne, if she even still posts here, needs to stop getting so defensive -- no one here insulted her or suggested that she herself was abusive towards patients. Ugh.

The nerve of the staff at this place to actually feed the babies. Grrrrrr... (I am shaking my fist in a very sarcastic manner).
You would find the same thing at any hospital today, although I hope it would be a little cleaner and wouldn't have Mr. Motts cool lighting!

don't think i;ve seen a more contiversal set of comments as this gallery holds

I love this. It looks like it's crying.

my dentist has the same light!!! creepy

thats huge!!

it's sad to think that while their was kids and adults in cribs crying upstairs, that the workers were having a blast playing a game of bowling downstairs! nice!!

that's just wrong!!

there is something so sad about this picture:(

I wonder who the child was that rode it last! :( very sad indeed
