Thank you so much for preserving this history with photos. I will try to tell all I can about your awesome tribute.

A med cart on wheels, rolling thru an open ward is certainly not a good idea under these particular circumstances. I've been a nurse for a long time (27 yrs) and worked in a couple older type buildings (not psych facilities tho) and can see how things could get dangerous for the med nurse out in the open with meds in a cart, locked or otherwise. (I spent time as a student at Torrence State Hospital)

The saddest part is how the damm Walmart will cover history, the history of poor people, living humans who walked these halls and have been forgotten by everyone, including their own families (because of negative stigma of mental disease)

The hospital where I work has a building attached to it which is now office space but was once the school of nursing, I believe all of the hallways and bathrooms, etc are made of this type of orange/tan colored brickwork. The brickwork goes up the wall about halfway, sort of like wainscotting.

The link to www.dixmont.info no longer has anything...wish I had found this site a lot sooner. The pix on here are absolutely marvelous, and as previously said, just one more reason I loathe Walmart!
