The contrasts are remarkable especially the small pieces of decent wall that are still hanging on.

it's amazing how cheap this place was, we've seen wooden banisters in Europe that held up better than this stuff!

Friday night Toga Party gone terribly wrong!

It is really sad. Yikes. I think it affects a person more because it's children. It tends to be easier to turn a blind eye to adults...kids are not so easy to do that with.

I'm with Janice and Lynne- first thought was Danvers! Ah, Danvers was great. I think i'll pop on over there before i leave.

That is creepy...it's almost as if they just stuck the fridge in there as an afterthought.

Oh isn't that wonderful. Losing bodies? Yeah, i'm definitely in agreement with Mike up there...this is a morgue. Very small one, not very practical for the amount of patients though.

It's a great contrast though. The machine is still fairly white while every wall is the black brown color of decay.

There's something so sad about this pic. Dont know what, but something.

Theres wacky 60's-70's architecture for ya. It looks like it's gonna start spinning any minute. Like that ride at carnivals...Gravitron!

I always love his B&W pics, there always seems to be a little more to them than the color ones.

That would be a miracle considering they seem to stay very far away from Motts. I'm sorry but if this was a school for disabled and mentally unstable kids...why is the water fountain so high off the ground?

Ya know everyone makes fun of formica laminate countertops...but it's truly amazing how they hold up! The kitchen designer in me shudders at the unfinished furniture board side...*cringe*

Hey, someone stole the soap dispensers!

That's what soap dispensers are for...so you cant drop the SOAP! You really do belong here if your eating soup in the shower!

But yeah, i definitely see that color scheme putting you in the wrong state of mind.

Yeah, i think that's what he said so that would be 100 years old now!
