Motts I did not know ghosts could use a can of spray paint.

	Motts I have actually, a pretty amazing place indeed!

	Motts Not personally, they keep the place buttoned up pretty tight and it is patrolled regularly.

	Motts Thank you DOG! I've updated with the correct information.

	Motts I'd love to post them, I've had some difficulty finding historic photos of the hospital online. Shoot over a link or email. http://www.opacity.us/about/contact/

	Motts Yes, it's a stairwell leading into the basement.

	Motts Looks like they were busted out for scrap or salvage.

	Motts I hope to travel to Pripyat and Kiev at some point, just a matter of money and time. Moscow and St. Petersburg look like fantastic places to explore as well.

	Motts Just some spray paint...

Location: Heilstätten Asklepios  Gallery: Krieg im Paradies

	Motts Looks like plaster fell off the ceiling in sheets.

	Motts Through the doorway is a curving staircase to the basement.

	Motts There are metal rungs attached to the smokestack wall on the right; possibly vestiges of an outdoor ladder if this spiral staircase was built after the stack.

	Motts This was shot out a window of the building it connected to :-)

	Motts I would imagine the stained glass comes from what was a chapel located in the hospital complex, but it's possible that it was used in other areas. Some old psychiatric hospitals in the U.S. used touches of stained glass in the wards: http://www.opacity.us/image7225_tin_heap.htm http://www.opacity.us/...3_colored_curves.htm

	Motts What a shame. Thanks for the update

	Motts Thanks AmazingViewer - I do have some places in KY shot, just need to get to them (I'm pretty backlogged) :-)

Location: Riverside State Hospital  Gallery: Delicate

	Motts Thanks, some of these old galleries have many typos :-)

Location: Cliffside Hospital  Gallery: Secret Things

	Motts Thanks, the seats and arm rests are wood, while the frame is stamped metal.

	Motts There's a kind of scissor lift that's used to get them up and down from those high drawers, called a morgue lift or cadaver hoist I think.

	Motts I should note that this particular wing was not part of the original Kirkbride plan, but rather added on to it in later years (early 1900s I would estimate).

Location: Rathen State Hospital  Gallery: Steam

	Motts Yes, I think most of the bedroom doors in this wing were metallic.

Location: Rathen State Hospital  Gallery: Steam

	Motts I think the sloping is an effect of the super-wide angle. I think this particular wing was constructed pretty much as-is, with the top floor; I haven't been able to pinpoint what date it was constructed. It's definitely not part of the old 1848 construction (concrete floors, metal doors, etc). Early 1900s I'm guessing.
