I love the old postcards, but onto the picture. Interesting black and white shot there.

Lovely stair shot... loving that lighting!

Nice tiling job :P

I like the building but don't like those bulb water towers. I'd rather look at the old ones even though they are kind of creepy. I wouldn't want to have to paint one of those things

Lynne, I have old postcards of psychiatric hospitals nd I often see them referred to as insane asylums, home for the feeble minded. Ive also seen Home Hotel for nervous invalids. They had so many different names for these places.

I wonder how long this place has been abandoned, lots of paint chips.

C-Note, I think you mean psychadelic. Excuse the misspelling. Am on Depakote at this particular juncture in time.

Looks similar to the stairs leading to the third floor in Greenbriar Medical Center.

OOh. I want one.

Looks like a Christmas stocking on the floor. Hope it was just an optical illusion.

They changed the advertising today 11-18 they are for the Exit light company ,4 exits for exit sign ,and stop leaving visitors. so now it's about exits. I wonder if that where they got there exit sigyn from? lol

I agree the last guy looks like hitler. the posey that I remeber is the ones that us nurses aides in high school use to keep the senior s in the wheelchairs which was a vest that kept them from falling out of there chair. I wish that some places used the restaint to hold perple in position in bed which would help alot with bed sores.
I have been in restaints before because I was naughty (not that way dear Dr.) and all I felt was horrableand hatted it. But the staff told me some people are so relaxed in restraints that they go to sleep and are fine. not me (i think it the drugs)

I always wondered what it would be like if one of those babies boiled over and popped like a percolator? :-)

I agree with it's creepiness......freaky pscodelic

Yeah, maybe you can help me write my paper on the Amygdla!
