An atmosphere of sadness surrounds this whole place, meaning the asylum in general.
I have seen so much photos containing stuff that is simply left to rot and rust away, why not give it away instead?
Why not fix this building up and use it for something else? A school for example or a hospital, I am sure people could find some use for this building, rather then letting it deteriorate and rot away.
Ofcourse it could also be that the entire place is in such a bad condition then that there is no option other then to demolish a big part of it, rather sad in my opinion...
An atmosphere of sadness and depression always seems to surround abandoned hospital, assylums and schools...
In an effort to "de-institutionalize" places, they were referred to as residents or consumers. Also, some people with mental illness often do something called "posturing" meaning they will "strike a pose"...sometimes for quite a long time. From what I gather, it can be attributed to their diagnosis such as having OCD and having to do something because that action is "attached" to something else happening. You know, like a butterfly causes a ripple on a pond in Asia and it ends up as a tidal wave in Hawaii. Also, sometime their voices tell them to do certain things.
Voivod, thanks for sharing the 11-18-08 news article. So many of the aslyums (PA & NJ) are broken into & graffied & damaged by traspassers, teens, adults, satan worshippers....nice to see a reminder as tempting as it might be, it's not worth breaking the law to break in or steal dinner plates for that matter.
The genuine moss flooring, so green & lush. leads you past the wonderful walk-in-urinal to the twin privies.....overlooking the chain linked view....Charmin, Kohler & American Standard, eat your heart out---.this is a loo to die for....
@EchoRose-Yes, hydrotherapy rooms scare me too! They would give me a sense of drowning and not being able to breathe-I feel bad for the patients who had to endure the cold water sessions.
I wonder if Motts ever runs into anything paranormal? hmmm. All those old buildings have to have some interesting history and things still lingering around.
