So ROUND and SOFT; the ceiling, the arch, the hues, tints and shades............and the glow in the other room!
As is it is agreeable and captivating. It is not scary - it is timeless.
Be well, Mr. M.
Hahaha - yes, have certainly noticed that it is common to leave chairs behind.
Your pictures of them are so heartbreaking. Someone, who? sat there! The roundness at the doors is beautiful AND there is that hopeful Light at the far end; love this shot! Be well and stay in joy.
But it is BEAUTIFUL!!! Architects + builders of this had ideas and visions of beauty and meant well. How was anyone to know it would turn out differently? How well you have captured the sagacity and craftmenship of the creators. May you always be well is my daily wish.
Timeless...ancient and mysterious...but the arch is dooming and so heavy.................an asylum...but it could be a castle or a church. Good pictures you take! Be well.
Those ventilation windows above the doors Again. So much glass. Ahh and the bright light at the end. It has hope. The patients must have seen exactly this, too. Your pictures are great. May you always be well is my wish.
Thank you for this wonderful gallery. Oh this picture; the details!!!! That smashed glass on the partitions, like so much. May you always be well is my wish.
Ah yes those hairdryers, left all over, patients to set hair and look as nice as possible. May be some even had a permanent? You take great pictures! So much to think about. Some are even so uplifting to me, this one, considering the hardships and misery of it all. May you always be well, and thank you, too.
So much glass: on the doors and all the windows above the doors. Old-school ventilation. Like this picture so much; a lot to ponder about. Be well and stay in................
This is perfect, love everything about this shot, especially the shadows cris-crossing on the floor with the shuffleboard, and the bright light at the end. It is calm and serene. May you always be well is my daily wish.

It would seem that the only difference in our treatment today of violent patients and the criminally insane is that our "restraints" are chemical in nature. I do not believe we have reached any greater level of treatment for these individuals. People who are violent and hurt others have to be managed in some manner. I can only pray that a more humane method is found.
They could have been salvaged by the hospital for scrap or for re-use in another old building (surplus). These cages could probably be removed easily with the correct tools.
