MaxThey probably wouldn't use the term Iron Lung in an institution nowadays. It sounds way too un-PC!

MaxI believe they have less restrictive forms of artificial respiration today. I'm not sure if Iron Lungs are still required in extreme cases.

MaxPriceless shot!
I get clausterphobic just looking at those things. Between 30 years in an iron lung and death, neither one particularly appeals to me! |

MaxWhether it's vandals, the wrecking ball, or mother nature that destroys this place, you're looking at the last image in its pristine state.

MaxIt probably looked friendlier with all the bunks, furniture, lighting, and amenities. On the other hand, maybe it was always a dump. You could have had really nice private rooms for the kids, but the taxpayers wouldn't want to pay!

MaxWhat could you get for them? Uh, how about arrested and charged with trespassing, breaking and entering, vandalism, and theft of state property?

MaxFeh, all function, no form. Typical architecture of the 1950s and 1960s. The ironic thing is a lot of these prefab buildings actually were not very effecient or user friendly. In a lot cases BOTH form AND function were sacrificed for CHEAP!
