I grew up in a large Victorian house that was converted into a nursing home before we moved there. The cellars looked exactly like this!!!

Its much better that these buldings evolve than be torn down. Like people, everything has its place in time.

Time to Leave

Gorgeous!!!Love your sense of perspective and light, Mr. Motts. These old hospitals are so exciting to see through your lens. You have a wonderfully romantic vision. Its great to see the insides of these places you always wondered about.

Rooms

These spaces didn't have to look this bland the basic aesthetics of the place is attractive. The doorways are graceful and curving walls are very appealing. The blase' white walls must have made the place way too clinical. It's sad that the patients comfort was and sometimes still is the last they consider.

So weird, I had a dream featuring this place a year ago. Except I was in the hospital-the doctors were in here having meetings about the patient's cases.

Archway

A great space, such a shame. I love the windowed alcove. Too bad this place didn't reincarnate like what's been done to alot of old factories in MA-made into condos or apartments.

Fireplace

Yes they did that in the house I grew up in-ripped out most of them and blocked up the chimneys. By the time we moved in pigeons were nesting, and they were always cooing-kind of annoying.

Trails

Those are from late sixties early seventies-we called them banana seat bikes-cool if groovy colors like purple or bright green.
