So awesomeee!
It would look to creepy if they were left standing up right.
luv how the doors are different colors, its like they're trying to show all the different eras.
This pic bothers me the most. To imagine poor souls locked up in the empty room (even there was probaly some furniture back then) kills me.
All though some of the architecture is beautiful, I beleive a place like this should be torn down. There would forever be a faint presence of the former patients that would be just to creepy.
I luv this one. It's as if I can still see the sleepy night shift nurse there........
I luv this pic. It just shows that the whole place and it's former patients are now in peace.
I'd say someone was having panic attack and tried tearing down the door.
you could put some pedals and a steering wheel on it and go for that Bobby's World touch
looks like something out of a 50's space invader movie
I wonder if the fever cabinet was ever used as a method of control? I could see a sadistic part time ward threatening someone he doesnt like with the hot box.
art therapy?

When Dixmont State Hospital closed here in the Pittsburgh area, the patients were just released into the streets. They are everywhere downtown trying to live the best they can on the streets. Most of them are a little scary to walk past, talking to themselves; screaming and arguing with themselves on the street corner. It's kinda sad, really.
