This looks like the house in "Flowers in the Attic"

i agree with jennylw..there should be a "like" button!

I don't understand why there's feces everywhere. Where could it all have come from?

don't laff - I can spell the fingers get all tangled up

Cool story bro

YEP- Kent falls is beautiful and intend to go again- I want to step into the water- where else recommend? I've been to West Cornwall bridge everey year but still do the same path-wandered [ hence my monniker] into Mass,Vermont, New Hampshire up and down Eastern seaboard- even got a tingle at LimeRock Ct. you know the bad boys are there

Some hispitals still have padded rooms, the last two hospitals I have been to for treatment of schizphrenia had a padded room in each of there four "pods" a pod being a bank of rooms with a sitting area. Seeing this even this from the side shot of a padded room made me remember the fear I had about ever being locked in one my self if I was having one of my worse episodes, not being able to determine if what you are experiencing is real or not and being stuck in a room where it is just you and your thoughts is kind of frightening to me. It's weird to think that if I were born half a centry earlier I would be living in one of these places has be a little troubling

great to see everyone posting, nothing news...
have you been to the falls in Kent, wanderer? such a great place, in
a real nice part of Connecticut.

One hundred and twenty years ago, the construction firm of Mead & Taft were working overtime, feverishly completing the construction
and decoration of Halcyon Hall, in the summer leading up to it's
autumn grand opening at the height of the Gilded Age.

Millbrook is arguably quieter now. Just sayin...

I wonder when or how long it will be, until the sun sets on this place completely? It will be a sad day when that happens, but as long this place is here, it will live on.

Ghost tentacle..

......I guess at least you're somewhat out of the rain, wind, and snow...and possibly a bit more secure than sleeping on an actual sidewalk or bench.......maybe??

Autoguy, I agree. I personally know someone (a normal, college- educated, working, nice-home-owning person) whose mother is intentionally "homeless". She plays the sympathy card to "earn" money panhandling (and I'm sure has other "work" of various kinds...???), but actually chooses to "live" this way. She has a "home" she has set up, and it's really odd to see, but she absolutely refuses any help. My friend occasionally cooks meals and brings them to her. To my knowledge, she is not mentally ill (though in my way of thinking, anyone who would WANT to live like this has to be at least a *little*off. Who knows.

That is CREEPY!! (to think of walking on that). You couldn't see any major cracks or holes or missing pieces in the glass under all the debris on top. I didn't know the catwalks were GLASS. I would have assumed in a building this old they would have been some kind of woven metal mesh, etc, if letting in light was the issue. Sounds like quite "state of the art" architecture for this long ago. Would love to know how they made those pieces back then. Learn something every day :-),

Really like this. Strange space. Doesn't seem like the wall was original, tho, unless they bricked up a cell from the other side to remodel...hmm. I could die of curiosity not to know what was behind that.

Me, too. I can't stand those "subway tiles" people seem to love so much in home decorating these days. The actually LOOK like a subway. Sorry, but I don't want my kitchen to look like a grungy train platform under the city (OR my bathroom to look like a public rest stop. EEWW). JMO.

Hi to those who've been on here a while :-). Haven't been on in a LONG time, but had been around for enough years for the words "soap dispenser" to make me smile....lol. Just farting around online today and thought, hmmm, guess I'll check that site again. Still got some great stuff. Thanks for the new galleries, MOTTS. :-).

LOVE THAT! That belongs in my backyard :-)

Good. I'm not the only one with a strange imagination...:-0...:-).

My Mother Majorie Stopford(nee Yeulett) worked at Whittingham Hospital as a Nurse in 1937/38 and lived in Longridge with her Mother at 3 Ashton St.. Her Brother Ernest Yeulett worked there after the war I think and later his son William Yeulett.

Maybe the black and red tile color combination had something to do with the Nazification period of Germany during WWII? They liked to use that color combination a lot elsewhere and since this hospital is in Berlin it would stand to reason they may have gone through and redecorated the place with their favored color scheme. Just a thought/idea.

I acquired a 1937 Drinker-Collins iron lung from a junk yard and had it restored at Rick's Restorations in Las Vegas, home of American Restoration on The History Channel. The show (episode title "American Respiration") aired Tuesday, May 7, and will be airing more times over the next few weeks and months.

I used this as my wallpaper , then installed a backup lost it and now I have found you again......yeay....

I love this kind of shot looks great

Any recommendations for how to enter? My friend and I are looking to take a few shots this weekend, and have no idea where to start.

I do not like this picture.
