Kathy W.Wow, look at the mold rug!
I guess they were working on preventing bullying? |

Kathy W.Great shot! I like the colors and the shadows and light in this. I also like the way the ceiling tiles mimic the floor tiles. Cool.

Kathy W.I can't believe how many wheelchairs are there. I mean, I know it's the wheelchair show and all, I just always hate to see equipment left to rot. I know they are outdated now, you might think that at the time the place closed they could have done something with them.

Kathy W.What a perfect title, Motts! Any idea what that is? I can't figure it out.

Kathy W.It looks like the wall is opening it's mouth to swallow up that desk!

Kathy W.Maybe they did have helmets as well as the mask. It looks like a chin strap to me too.

Kathy W.You are right, Glenn. I'm not having the best day today but I must say, I did just stop and think. Things could be worse.
After reading some of the history of the place, I wonder if the staff there actually sat down and helped the people learn how to eat, in a patient manner anyway. |

Kathy W.I don't know why but I just love this. There is so much going on with the peeling paint, moldy ceiling, and debris on the floor. It's really cool. I guess they needed the chalkboard elsewhere....

Kathy W.Oh my gosh. I was almost wondering if that was a helmet or something when I first saw it. A mask? How sad. It reminds me of Hannibal Lecter. Sorry, that's what popped in my head.

Kathy W.I LOVE that blue, and a hallway shot, and a lonely wheelchair for that matter. Cool!

Kathy W.Great shot! I love the way the seat of the last chair in the row is raised a little so we can see the cross on the next row.
Tjcee, I wonder if they were crosses or maybe there was some design or something on there in that shape that has since fallen off. It looks like they are on the end of every row. |

Kathy W.Ewwww!
Bob, I am wondering the same thing! Yuck. |

Kathy W.Oh, I guess if I had looked forward a few more pictures I would have answered my own question from a few pics ago.
DAMN, look at that mold! I need a mask just looking at that! |

Kathy W.First comment (again)! Sorry, had to do it....
Anyway, the colors/textures on that room divider are so cool! It almost looks like it was meant to look that way. |

Kathy W.It is shocking how bad the floorboards are. I understand if there is rot or something but it almost looks like they have been ripped up. Perhaps they were.
Was the ceiling actually painted green in the theater or is that mold or something? I guess that explains the bad floors if it's all wet in there. |

Kathy W.Poor little wheelchair, the floor is too bumpy for it to roll on outta there.
evilavatar, I agree! |

Kathy W.Yay! A new gallery! Wow, my father the hardwood floor installer/refinisher would be apalled at the gym floor!
I just realized I have never seen the other gallery from Fuller State so it was my first time reading the history. What a tragic place to be in. Those poor people. It is sickening. :( |

Kathy W.Motts, your site is amazing. I always say I can't wait for the next gallery, and of course I love seeing them! However, I love that you take the time to add the history and the archival images to your amazing photography of each location. That is what makes your site so wonderful. Thanks for all of that work, I cannot imagine how long it takes to get a gallery up and it is greatly appreciated! :-)
