There is something so...beautiful...on how the light shines upon that fallen down pane of glass.

In my opinion the plaque represents a "tombstone' of sorts. The place died in 1994.

The chair looks like it has a strap laying acrossed it. Definately a strange looking chair.

"Rust Never Sleeps"

umm isnt there a door in lad school that cannot be opened??
mad ppl are trying to find iht but there to scared to look!
and what are those pics of the children who died in there??

i was there last night .. its so much crazier inside.. it looks nothing like it is on the outside
especially at night

and the other buildings around it ... crazy shit

these were probably put up by a patient. like nursing home patients put up pictures of their kids/grandkids. it is really sad though.

The disturbing thing I want to know is - who or what aroused this chair? I thought the place was abandoned.

Looks like a droid from Star Wars - like something the Jawas would try to sell

Never saw a chair like that - those foot rests are creepy. I also feel sad when I look at this pic. I imagine an old, lonely person confined to this chair, with nothing to do but stare out the window & watch the world go by - some-thing they're not a part of anymore

Why would the temperature gauge be allowed to reach the scalding level? That's so dangerous. You'd think the temp level would be limited so as not to inadvertantly burn someone.

Very gruesome indeed. Doubt if that's blood in the drawer - it wouldn't be bright red anymore. Rather, it'd be dark brown.

what building is this in

thts the exact place i took a picture from. we parked our car in the middle of tht building so people could not see

Yes, the screens were put there for safety reasons, for protection from accidental falls and deliberate pushes or jumps. They were probably installed after a change in the building code prohibited open stairwells. Buildings were sometimes closed after codes required elevators and other mechanisms to increase accessibility because it was cheaper to close the building and move the people living or working in it than to make the required modifications.
