I was an employee in PPC for years and yes the Dr's houses were beautiful.
The buildings that housed the patients were eerie to say the least .
I went to their Nursing School which turned out many good RN's.
It's sad to see what's left of PPC after so many years. As the buildings were being torn down I took a brick from the building I worked in.
I now live in Florida and I have met many co-workers here that are also retired like I am. I'm glad that I stayed at PPC as long as I did because now that I'm retired I live comfortably.
