Finally, I found the origin of the soap dispenser jokes.
This is likely to be the picture with the most comments, isn't it?

That's just so steampunk!

Toujours aussi fascinants vos albums et sites !....

Vines FTW! All by themselves they did that. Beautiful clever Nature! Best gardener ever!

So much if this campus was constructed then used as something else then changed agian then ababandoned due to building a new structure. I cant say for sure due to the lay out being slightly askew from the norm of that   time period. The use of monitors on the left wall, and the small "stage", it strikes me as a surgical theatre. Considering the crazy uses of rooms and how often they were changed It most likely was multi function. .
Very cool picture

It is what what they call a surgical theatre. Where yes, surgical procedures or demonstrations would ve held for medical "education" purposes

ROSEWOOD CENTER OWINGS MILLS MD

looked at my pics and tooo much greenery in them to get a real good pic maybe somebody at the end of Nov can get better ones

will check my pics and see what I can come up with- got pretty close to that side in 11"if no have- will do it when I'm there just LOVE this place it's soo hyponitic to see the grandeur of it -unfortunately live in the midwest and they don't have anything to match it -- yeah East coast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the side I'm talking about since I know the photo I just sent is a little hard to see the building features, so hopefully this will show you where it is http://i159.photobucke...ions_zpsf7f5d44d.jpg

To answer your question, I don't care about the add-ons to the original 1890s structure. So I only brought up the white dorm room building as a point of reference. My only interest is the original 1890s structure and what alterations it has been given.

If you were looking at Halcyon Hall from the mowed field, this would be the left hand side of the building. This is the West Wing, I need the west side of the west wing photos. Particularly the stone walkway/steps, and the stone that goes up the side beyond the stairs further left and of course the wood features and roofing if possible.

and I'm sorry to say I've never actually stepped foot near this building. *sad*

i am an idiot savant when it comes to directions but do u want pics of the non wood or concrete looking parts of the school -i have some from 11' but as U say they are covered in foliage it's tooo bad have U been back lately ? am heading out there in Oct

I love it,

It's desolate and gray, but also colorful and green.

Man, there's not enough of this stuff in popular culture

So I managed to find a photo of the West Wing West Side. This is on the other side of the Dorm Room building, just next to the walkway. However, it is covered in greenery which is unfortunate and doesn't tell me much.

But this is the side that I want to see, if someone could please post pictures or links... would be nice.

This photo creeps me out and I would be terrified to receive this as a Christmas card! If you drive up onto the site now you can feel the horrors ... I drove up to show the my kids the beautiful buildings a few years ago and I couldn't leave fast enough. You can just feel it all around you.

this is an eye sore and the tax payers should have it torn down it would create jobs and clean up the area. The polititions spend more on a conference tha it would take to demolish this cesspool.

It is so sad may of the squatter and homeless are mentally ill or they wouldnt resort to living in these horrible conditions.

i wish i could replace my Fathers headstone he is buried in the grounds of whittingham hospital the stone is missing

u should rlly but how the patients were treated and i dont mean treated as with medicine i mean treated good or bad in thier time in the denbigh asylum

I worked on Executone systems from P.A., telephone systems, and nurse call since 1976.

It is a Paging system zone box. The switches switch the zones on and off to the Mic. It's a fairly simple and straight forward design. John J and Traditional John have it right.

The cops use this area to party from time to time. You can 20-30 PG County cop cars parked outside it a couple times a year.

Really enjoyed this place. This last photo though is my favorite! Very moody.

Gorgeous shot.

As of june 2013 the hotel still stands. However it has been officially stated that the demolition ofbthis magnificent building will begin this month or next. Only a fewbweeks left to see it and bask in its once glory...
