Kristiara I really hope they didn't house the paranoid people here, just looking at that wallpaper is enough to make me start glancing behind me!

	Kristiara Please forgive me for giving a window personality, but it feels like the glass is standing in direct defiance to the chair and the graffitti.

	Kristiara It's so wonderful to see woodworking that has survived. Unfortunately, it always seems to be the first to go. Work like this should be preserved and cherished, unfortunately the craft is slowly being abandoned as well.

	Kristiara Like I thought English Oak. I bet if you attacked that thing with a "Pledge" can instead of a spray paint can, she would gleam like the day she was built!

	Kristiara That's English Oak for ya! Everything around it is falling apart, including the inards. But the wood remains timeless. The freize work between the spires is beautiful.

	Kristiara It's amazing how time and neglect have not touched the paint. Like somehow the plaque of disrepair and abandonment cannot touch this one pure thing.

	Kristiara I'm sorry, but i would feel seriously guilty for grafitting a church or chapel! Especially in a mental institution!

	Kristiara Is that artificial brickwork on the window wall? Or original construction covered up by tacky wallpaper and paint?

	Kristiara Wonderful shot! You walk up the stairs back when everything was new and then one more step brings you to the decay...like one of those time elapsed scenes where you actually watch the transformation from new to old.

	Kristiara I've been lurking or haunting this board for about a year now, and that is one thing I've noticed. Almost everytime, the exterior walls always seem to be in the worst shape. They didn't have Anderson windows back then, so drafts moisture, leaks and broken windows are probably the culprit.

	Kristiara Is the blue peeling to reveal the green or is the green peeling to reveal the blue?

	Kristiara The black bubbling yellow paint looks like ginormous huge ants!

	Kristiara Oh, thank god! I was starting to go through withdrawl!

	Kristiara The left arm of the chair seems unaffected while the rest of chair is charred, thats odd.

	Kristiara Unfortunately, most of society is more interested in sprinting forward instead of standing still and admiring the beauty of the past. Most people dont see these buildings for what they really are, only what they were used for.

	Kristiara Breathtaking and aweful! It reminds me of the graphics in the computer game "The Black Mirror" I wonder if St. Margaret's Hospital wasn' t the inspiration for the game.

	Kristiara Very ironic, the administration is in worse condition than the patient wards.
