657 Comments for Green Hill State Hospital

Mold and mildew. I wouldnt stay in that room the moment I saw the mold through the curtain.

The way the tiles are curling, reminds me of a fire-damaged ward in Buffalo State Hospital. Must've been a crunchy walk.

The window on this door reminds me of some of the doors in the Army Barracks when I was stationed in Germany. This rectangular window on the door in this picture is vey similar to the doors in the Army Buildings. These Army Barracks widows were designed in a more square shape with wire mesh in between two plates of glass. These doors were at the first floor landing at the bottom of the stairs and also on the second floor landing at the top of the stairs. Our barracks only had two floors and a basement. There might have been a few more doors with wire mesh windows in the basement but I cannot really remember. I was very rarely ever down in the basement. We had some old tents down there and some old tool boxes. Sometimes some of the Soldiers would go down there to clean their M-16 A1 weapons. Most of the Soldiers would clean their weapons in their barracks rooms. I went down there in the basement a couple of times to clean my weapon but I did like being down in the basement too much so I almost always cleaned my weapon in my barracks room. {{ I got an un-easy feeling when I was down there in the basement. }} A few times I went to the billiards room on the first floor to clean my weapon but I hardly ever did that. [[ These old Army Barracks were used by the German Army during World War Two. ]] I later heard that sometime in the Late 1990's or the Early 2000's the German Government had torn down most of these buildings and had built new houses for young German Families with small children and had built a kindergarten and also an elementary school. Any way the doors for the actual barrack rooms did not have any windows. There were regular windows on the inside the barracks rooms on the walls and regular window at the end of the hallways. One time late at night, around midnight or 1:00 o'clock in the morning or so a Soldier got drunk and he punched the wire mesh window on the second floor. The window was cracked but it held. That was a very strong window considering that it was around 40 years old or more at the time that he smashed it with his fist. This incident happened in 1988 in the summer time. These buildings were built somewhere in the 1930's when Hitler was getting ready for war. The Soldier had to report to the First Sergeant and the Commanding Officer (a Major) along with his Platoon Leader (a Captain) and his Platoon Sergeant (a Sergeant First Class) along with his First Line Supervisors (this means his Staff Sergeant and his Sergeant). We heard that the XO (Meaning the Executive Officer) was there too. (( We were a Field Artillery Unit. )) What was said in that room ? :: Know Body Knows. :: . About 3 or 4 months later the Soldier was taken to Frankfurt, Germany and he was flown back to the United States for out processing of the United States Army. The rest of us Soldiers never did know what the story was or why or what happened or anything. That drunk Soldier never did say a word about it. When he was asked about it that Soldier would just clam up. So everybody just left him alone.

These walls in the above photograph look like a shower room or a bathroom.
Take it easy everyone.
Hope that this year is better for everyone than the last couple of years.
Stay healthy and safe.

Is this how this institution saved money by putting the air ducts in the most easiest way that the maintenance workers could work on them ?

Motts, wallpaper please? This one would make a great one & you don't yet have one from this set.

I thought Disco was dead, not according to this hallway it isn't. Motts, this must've been great to see in person & live, in a still shot, it's still amazing to see.

can motion sensors be used in Hospital Staiwells?

Look at the tile! Looks brand new!
It's like that in many of these old places.

i am with you on that mAD

Reminds me of the abandoned Ballroom at Flinders St Station in Melbourne, Australia

I would love to explore these places!

I also would have gotten every one of those drawers open. Nothing in there, nothing in there, nothing in there, nothing in there...

[an hour later]...

...and finally -- nothing in there. At least I would know.

So there is glass in the holes. In the first shot of the door like this it appeared that there was none. I thought that putting one's eye up to a hole with a violent patient inside would be a bad idea. That patient could be waiting for such a moment with a serious finger jab.

Ouch!

I'd like to nominate this one for wallpaper!
This one draws me in, for some reason!
As always, beautiful work!

Sorry "Section" !!
