Well it is Germany during the Cold War as Iraq/Afghanistan today you don't want the enemy getting their grubby little paws on stuff they could use against us. We have amnesty bins over there that we'd throw our old uniforms and boots into and they were emptied by US personnel to be burned as you don't want the enemy to have a readily available supply of current military uniforms

Warnings such as that one are still alive and well today in the military. Its called opsec (operational security) and anyone who's ever watched 'AFN' (Armed Forces Network) is very familiar with the military's ridiculous commercials...they're pretty lame lol

It might have been an old arms safe...the newer ones are much more substantial though but back in the 40s...i guess it worked

yeah i didnt see any keys back in june 08 when we went up

the roof was removed - for the valuble slate & lead. it was not burned.

the chimneys were only removed recently - they were dangerous & about to fall.

It's actually a protection frame - stops trolleys hitting the cast iron supports.

I have lived my whole life in York PA with random trips courtesy of the US Army. Your website has always been an inspiration for urban exploration and this taste or home made it all the more real. Thank you for reinvigorating my desire to explore the dead and dying places of the world. This is the best site I have found... PERIOD!!!

By the way...

1 month ago we visit the sanatorium. The blue shatters all smashed... :-(

I hope this plan can help. The room with the blue windows is 100% the operating room. ;-)

Look here:

@ blue lamp

yea, i feel the same....

keith i think you are right..i work in a place like this one and as a staff i try to give each child the best care and alot of the staff i work with are the same way...most children do not know anything different...no we don't live there 24 7, but i work with a lot of caring people...not to mention at times some of these places are the best place for children...i work with a lot of behavior children and we are trained on how to deal with that..sure times have changed and we are more understanding of laws, right, respect..in just 10 years of working in the human service feild i have seen the changes..and yes any empty building left for years will look this way i'm sure..

i really feel like the black and white really helps illuminate the idea that light was very scarce in this awful place.

The good ol' Foxboro PD. Never around when you need them, always there when you dont.

My mother lives right up the road, the new safety complex sits is the hospitals spot today.

This is the first one that got knocked down, what a shame I never went in.

I live around here and never had the guts to go inside, now it is no more, they knocked her down. I regret it so much. Last night on SciFi this place was on The Most Scariest Places On Earth. That freeks me out!
