YES - and was wrong, about GooglEarth, as DID find the possibility to "look around" - which is uncanny, as this place IS GONE.
Will always think of it as "Verden"
May You always be well, Mr. M, is a daily wish.
Yeah - the criss&cross mesh on the window.....amazing also. Verden - this place is special. To create something like that.....
Now gone. So hoped it would be kept&saved.
Somewhere along the way Lynne is lost. Knowledgeable, clever & nice: Miss.
"Verden" - a special place = now gone.
For a while DID think it would be `saved´
I used to live very close to this asylum and would drive by often. It always fascinated me and I always slowed down to get a better look. It was already abandoned by that time and I always wondered what it looked like inside and what spirits remained. I haven't lived in that state in years but thought about this place from time to time. On a snowy night in NC tonight, It crossed my mind again and so glad I did, so that I can get a glimpse of the inside. So happy I came across this site. Happy New Year everyone.
YES! And suddenly undestood W H Y love ex. "Verden" so dearly - from the outside looks dark, formal, grey, harsh, strict, somber, square and ... and then Inside there is bright LIGHT + rounded, soft, but with some brilliant hues, shades & tints, friendly, full of great air and wide space, and with so many windows, with very good windowsills. This place! GONE!
Yes, Cronnur, did notice + faucets last, and I think they are beautiful. And until 2016 we still had one cute tiny washbasin left, in one small toilet, with a set-up like this, from 1937. We liked it, and were used to it...but my grandkids were NOT - and kept scalding themselves - not knowing how to mix the water well, hahahaha.
Fantastic windows - to have windows like this. Three together and that windowsill, imagine: - for three slim thriving tall but wellpruned potted plants (Schefflera actinophylla and Ficus bejamina) and even on a very dark gloomy rainy day, there would be L I G H T!
