With the title of this picture being Behemoth, Conquer All comes to mind. Anyone?

The building is being renovated and put back into use for the community. (We are doing it)

I am one of the engineers who went in. Full Tyvek suits, reporators and masks. We were in the basement in hatchways under the floor, under the stage, and between the roof/ceiling. The laddar there does go up to a projection room. There were lines on the floor of the main section beneith the bird crap for basketball/volleyball.

How many times did you check that door before you closed it?! would have been a lot for me.
Great gallery as always. You have a perfect eye for this and we thank you.

I don't think I have ever seen freestanding urinals before. Nice find.

I have to ask, did you go into the attic?

Those don't look they would be very comfortable to sit on, so I am guessing that would be the mens room.

"Some kind of tiller or aerator for farming perhaps.
Edit: never mind, it's a fire escape :-)"

No, it WAS a fire escape.LOL)

Yeah, and it would be written in English and Spanish

Unless your gonna be bringing a scott pack to breathe..stay out of the tunnels and dude the doors are still perfectly intact and everything is still there

every door and window is locked tight and boarded up in this place only certain people, i.e. Thiells Roseville Fire Dept. (David B. Roche) has the keys to gain acess.

fieldstone secondary wasnt built they refurbished an old building to the needs of a school

Selly is still kicking lives on the upper east side by my sister Lynn, she runs into him from time to time. He is a character for sure. I remember skeet shooting in the field across the road adjacent to the Blue Moon buildings I think its a housing development now . I know the lower corn fields that led to the river have houses now what a shame such nice country. The restaurant was not always Lombardis was a country wetern bar combo tough place as I remember.

Rich, the rink was on the way to New Paltz "Tilden Lake" was the name of the place. They have since filled in the lake and put up houses too bad lot of fun times there as well as sore backs and bottoms LOL. The only place close that I remember was a bed and breakfast at the crossroads on the way to New Paltz had a bar on the first level real folksy if you get my drift I dont remember the name. Do you remeber Selly the entertainment director.

Rich the bus to school was the best and the worst yahoos inside bumps outside and Oh those farm attitudes you had to be tough to survive among the "originals" Always considered downstaters as invaders. Now stop stabbing yourself with that pen LOL

Yea I was there as well but didnt want to drop that dime LOL

well I have to go one better on Rich DE2-1649 (wierd how things stay with u, when rich mentioned 2401 ur # popped in my head) yes Dairy queen was the "jump off" either coming or going to the ranch . Jimmy Adducci owned Red Top Lodge just outside Wallkill always said Baccahla he passed from cancer he was a teriffic person spent alot of time with him and his family growing up. Frenchie started with us named my dog after him (with his permission of course). Lynn did the A circuit toby my oldest sister was more the intellectual went on to be a teacher . The Burger Cottage as I remeber was between our house and the New Main house not the pool bungalow next to the bbq pit that overlooked the ring and hunt course. If you remeber Frenchie do you remember BoB who was the janitor and Judy who handeled the office.. Damn the more you talk the more of the little things come back who woulda thought

OK here is one for Jamie your uncle Scott and I used to steal the old red jeep after dark and go driving on the back roads ducking the very few state troopers who were around at the time. Also we used to go shooting in the field across from the main house where the horses were turned out, one day your uncle Scott and I were shooting frogs in the pond and I shot at a frog and got your uncles hand instead boy did I have some expaining to do to your grandfather about that. But I will tell you he just about the coolest adult I ever knew, used to call me Mickle always stuck with me , "such a great man"

Ralph Cowans was his name Rich. Remeber the bungalow by the pool..

This is probably one of the unit dayrooms. The lockers were used for storage of items used by staff and patients.(board games, cards, some snacks, puzzles.) Each shift would have their own locker, in addition to one or more that was used by all.

The only pool that I recall was located in the York Wood Center, which was on the northwest corner of the grounds, and was used for juveniles.

Some of those tire tracks were also made by patrol vehicles from the forensic center. We patrolled the grounds until the demolition crews finally took over. A very spooky place at night. Inside the buildings was a multitude of various noises. Dripping water, animal movement, birds, wind blowing loose materials. You always felt like something was about to grab you from behind.

Rooms with the dutch doors usually consisted of either the ward office, medication room, and or the treatment room. They weren't always the same on each unit.

The term "Dead Calm" comes to mind with this shot

He already answered in the previous picture, there was, Uh Hum,,, no-body home. If you look back at the previous picture, you will notice it's closed. Motts had to take a peak inside, that's why it's partially open in this picture. But it does have one wondering, why, what & who was once in that thing.
