That looks like the cover of a book. (I'm a writer--if i get a book published, can I get i buy this for a cover?)

Casket

This is so compelling. So sad. It makes me so relieved to be living in 2006. When my beloved sister died young, I was so saddened by her death that I went to a pyschologist twice a week for a few months to get over it. Had I been "back in the day", I would have wound up in that God forsaken place, simply because of a broken heart. It makes you think, doesn't it...

Main Lobby

It really does look as if the chair is floating - it's because the shadow isn't where you'd expect it to be. Also, that totally looks like fake marble. :P

Last Look

I wish there was a way to keep it from being demolished. It is a beautiful piece of history, and I loved seeing the grounds on my walks.

Mr. Motts, Are you ever scared in any of these buildings. I would be to excited to even begin to keep my hands steady to take a picture. With all the stories it wouldn't take much to put me through the roof.

Looking at the windows makes me wonder if anyone ever jumped? It is mesmerizing. scary and beautiful at the same time

Closer

I hear you can rent a room at the "White House"! I just found this site and I am very sad to see such a beautiful building go. I wish the state could have taken it over and used it for a museum and a medical history teaching and referance center for students of all ages. It would be better than condos for yuppies

Musical Chairs

Beth

Why is it, in ghost pictures involving wheelchairs, the chairs are scattered, never lined up? It looks like these people bolted!
