I love that they cared enough to paint the boards they put over the windows. I'm always glad to see some kind of covering over the window holes. It helps slow the aging of the inside of the building down a lot.

I wonder if someone who worked there or perhaps even laid the floor down for the first time thought, " you know I bet furns will be growing here 75 years from now."

how strong was the urge to toss a brick?

(For some reason I get upset when someone tosses a brick through a 60 year old pane of glass but a cop car, not so much.)

It's better they kick around in byberry than in some of the other more pristine places motts has taken photos in.

As tags go, this one is one of the better ones. At least he took the time to make it look nice, unlike the 2 billion other chicken -cough- scratch* tags that litter the place. If you are going to tag and I would say taggin the berry is ok at this point, might as well do it with style.

I'll have an asbestos burger, topped with rat turds and pigeon droppings, on yeah and a cold one.

Or the brain surgeon wacking the building with a slege, missed once...

Hell may not have an escape route, but what is more cruel playing with peoples sense of hope or just leaving them to rot. From the Devils stand point you might as well have a pointy stick handy if you are going to put monkeys in a cage.

must be plexiglass...

Its hard to imagine anyone ever walking on it.

inside...

what is that hanging from the cieling?

It gets harder and harder to imagine this place ever having any usefulness.

Looks like a miniture set, with a backdrop. Even the trees look kind of fake.

Did they paint the boiler? Or is that nasty stuff not paint but insulation?

How was this stuff tacked up?

"I'm ok guys, I can make it, don't throw me out!"

Actually I hear they sold tickets and often used hot meals to the homless into watching the wealthy pacients give birth. Of course it was for family and friends... shesh...

One of the pens records temp, the other colors normally record other things such as pressure, flow ect...

Growing up I spent 2 years in a school that had "pony walls". The school also has one great big room in the center and every class room connected to this room and the connecting wall was a pony wall. Very distracting being able to hear all the class rooms. The pony walls where high enough so that students who where properly seated couldn't see into the other classrooms. A few times durring the day one classroom would make a loud noise and everyone in the entire school would stand up like little gophers. Followed by teachers trying to reign thier classes back under control.

Dumbest design for a school I had ever been in.

I don't understand why they would need to do that? mabye to get at the inside part of the walls?

I want to say this was used for transfusions or blood treatments. Since IV's normally only contain one bottle and are normally only just a pole with a hook, even the very early ones.

The more I look at it, it looks like some kind of blood transfusion device.

Someone didn't like sundays...

My first impression was someone was trying to draw the grate they where looking at right above them, like they where trying to fool people into thinking one grate was extended. But lacked the tools and tallent to do so? I know I would make mirroals of slightly open doors if I had the time and was locked up in such a place.

Judging by the cord hanging from the wall this place might have had bunk beds that bolted/hung from the wall.

The cieling seems to be growing evil.. mold, evil mold, not spirits or ghosts, just mold. Evil vile mold, bent on the destruction of this place, but its mold all the same.
