Laboratory

GD

This whole building was a statement. Basically showcasing the money they had spent on "care of the mentally ill". But what went on in there was sick. as RD said, the major pharmacutical companies at the time (the building opened in 1950), needed labrats so we today could benefit from such spectacular drugs as boner pills and birth control, among many others. All the "psycoactive" drugs we have today came at the cost of many lives from this building and all like it throughout the country. Hence the reason for an autopsy room with student seating, and a good size morgue, 10 on ice at a time. What a shame

Gymnasium

GD

This is actually not a gymnasium at all. It was originally built as a kitchen/cafeteria building. This was the women's cafeteria. There's an old shot of it from the 30's on the jeffline archives. It was later used as an occupational therapy suite.

Ed's Tag

GD

It's hard for many to realize, but tagging is sort of a trait of byberry explorers since it closed. I too, personally hate the fires *ahem*, and all the senseless destruction. Productivity seems a better way to spend time in a place you plan on coming back to over and over. But tagging has always been synonamous with byberry. Its part of what makes byberry byberry, like it or not. I agree with Ed about how worng it is to tag at other places, ( i feel like a shmuck for my few tags at Pennhurst). But it will always be part of byberry, so can we keep the bitching to ourselves please? If its not your thing, don't come to "the berry".
