Another observation window in a room fro seclusion of the very sick?

The broad worn stairs perhaps leading to nowhere, made for a great deal of foot traffic.

reminds me of medieval architecture where there is a sense of filling all of the spaces. One expects gargoyles.

This art work looks newer than the rest of the building. Maybe it was done for the movie.

There would have been treatment places for children.

Was this in the kitchen area, because I can imagine a communal bath for TB patients.

I like this particular color that mold imparts. It goes with the idea of TB. Check out Marcel Proust's Remebrance of Things past for the morbid depiction of how TB santitoriums affected society. Clear High Mountains in the Alps and blood imagery.

The struggle for sunlight in an institution.

Beautiful this.

I hate to say this, but having been an inpatient at Griffen Memorial in Norman, gives me a sense of de ja vu when I look at these rooms, even down to the old strecher. (not cool, I know)

WOW, when I first clicked on this one, I though...dang, a robot from some old sci-fi movie.

It looks like everyone just took a coffee break and will be back in 5 minutes. Really freaky...I keep expecting someone to step out of the door and say "alright everyone back to work"

So what movie was filmed here???

Mark...the link you put on here for more information available at www.abandondednj.com doesn't exist...or at least I couldn't find it. Any clue where it went?
