Very scary....I wouldn't want to be trapped inside that room. It must have been hard as a patient to be staring at 4 walls. I do hope some of them were helped.

I really like seeing your pictures on this web site. Very nice. You do a great job. I don't know why I like to see abandoned buildings etc. I guess I always wonder the history of these places & all the people that lived & worked there. It was someone's life. The patients that were in these hospitals ....it can really make you think alot. I do marvel at the medical records etc stuff that should not be left behind. It should be disposed of properly. I work in medical records and its horrible to see stuff like this for all to see. Its just not right. Motts your site is great. It'll take me sometime to go through most of these pictures. Thanks for all your hard work. :)

left by employees on their last day (on a plate of cookies), perhaps?

I think it's probably just a quick shudder of activity when his body shifted positions, which happens a couple of times every night to people when they sleep.

Motts, your pictures are wonderful, but the stories I read before looking at the pictures always sit the mood!

window looks like a little chunk of space complete with starlight... wow i need to slack up on the smoking...

This site rocks!! This Gallery is out of site!! You ROCK MOTTS!!!!!!!!

The syringe appears to be propped up on tubes of needles that would attach to the syringe, therefore classifying it as a syringe and not a pipette.

i agree with Viveka, they seem to be syringes. Pipettes have a bulb thing at the top of them which is pressed together to draw liquid up. Syringes have plungers. I wonder what was in them?

The caretaker lives in the building? Wow! is he lucky or what!

this is the kind of room i would get..... lol

this room looks rather freshly painted

those papers look fairly new

I love how we are all fantasizing about how great it would be to have this plaque on our [whatever} when we could go to any trophy shop and have one made for a few bucks.

rtotten, the term "straw in athe cup", referring to the urine, made me gag as soon as I read it, lol!

Ha.
