Makes you wonder if some poor patient who was experiencing delusional issues might have thought those WERE eyes staring at him/her all day long.

Motts, these places must be even more creepified when there are vicious storms raging outside (even when they were operational)....did you ride out the storm here?

That's a pretty rudimentary wing chair...it does look alien-like.

Or he could have just meant spirits

They look like they're a bit high up when they WERE used as observation windows, too.

Motts, what does the title mean?

Do you mean "der Geist der stets ver·neint ?" (the spirit that ever denies)?

It looks like the pant leg presses we used at the last dry cleaner I worked at. We also had machines that looked similar to this to press the shirts.

such a shame to see this gallery end it was very interesting. Thanks Motts some great pictures there!

I have tried to pull up some pix of this place when it was up and running. All I could find was an old postcard of the train that used to run there from the main Hellingly Depot. Does anyone have any old pix or could steer me to old pix of this place?

This view makes me think that if photos were shown to family members, this one would be likely to be a large photo that would take up part or most of a page, or two pages across....along with that elegant room and the theatre, too.....to reassure them the place their loved one is going is a "good place". (sorry, dark thought of "what you don't see" sparked that comment)

Lynne, you said it!

Must've been very elegant before all that nastiness grew in there.

Its a good picture it looks like you were sitting in the corner all alone its thought provoking lol

scary, like someone is staring down at someone else, huddled in a corner of that room

Some places had quite a bit of graffiti, I try to keep it out of the photos if it looks bad... but it wasn't much different than the USA.

Wow, such beautiful architecture going to waste. Wonder what it looked like in its heyday?
