I feel so sad, that beautifull china is just wasting away instead of being salvage and be usefull

these pics are amazing!!

I'm so glad you posted more photos oh NSH. They've been having more and more discussions of demolishing the buildings and have began to put up the demolition fencing. It breaks my heart.

Security is so tight at NSH. Hard for vandals to get within the property. I witnessed an older woman trying to visit this Hebrew cemetery about a year ago and she got escorted off the property instantly.

I worked at NSH from 1970 to 1974. The Brigham building had a tunnel that went to the main kitchen. We used it to walk the patients to breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can not access the tunnels from the outside. I worked in K-6, Kettle building 6th floor police hold ward. Most of the patients there were sent there by the local jails because they did not want to deal with the people. A lot of the patients were LSD burn outs, still on their "Trip" from Woodstock. I went to the Lodge Bld many times to restrain PTs from the Hartford area that were combative towards other PTs. and staff. We did our best to help every patient that was on our wards. We did care for them, they were fellow human beings. NSH isn't haunted, that's a bunch of bull! I lived on the ground in the "Male Home" across from the Nurses Home at the north end of the property. I used the tunnles during bad weather to walk to work out of the snow and rain. The fireplace in the Admin Bld. was never used, it was just for show, a grand fireplace just as NSH was a grand hospital.

I love those old grave markers, they WERE pretty thin! The ones today to me are too thick and not as charming.

I love this picture, I like the turquoise and pink doorways in the very back.

Even the wall looks pink near the pink chair. Wow this is a neat picture.

Lots of soft pastel colors in this one...love it.

Just lovely. The view out the windows must be very tranquil all year 'round, but these autumn colors are stunning! Very relaxing looking at the same time.... nice. :)

Lots of textures and a strange soft glow.

antiques

nice solid stuff too... they don;t make it that way anymore

I love alllll yuour pictures, they are absoultly AMAZING! makes me want to go to these places more and more!

With that mattress on the floor, it looks like some homeless folks used this space at one time. It would be horrific to spend the night in this damp, smelly, roach/rat infested hole.
