Motts I would guess fresh air treatments, where beds could be rolled out of the main building easily, but I'm not certain.

	Motts Unfortunately I don't recall checking out the elevator...

	Motts I believe this was in the area as shown in the next and previous photos, where there were those tall doors and empty rooms. If the coils had copper or other precious metal, they would probably have been sold or scrapped.

	Motts Sure I think it can happen at any place you really love.

	Motts Thanks - yes it's getting more and more expensive to travel; however it's become quite important for me to travel far away from home every so often. I have visited many places more than once; often there are buildings or scenes that I didn't see the first time around, or, the place has new aura in a different season or weather.

	Motts Yup definitely large enough for a vehicle to drive through - not sure what era that portion of the building was constructed though.

	Motts An ergometer is a device which measures the amount of work performed.

	Motts Yes I've camped out in a few places.

	Motts I would guess this was in the 1927 addition.

	Motts I don't think so, I think some of these "lab" rooms were clustered together in a relatively unfinished part of the basement. I recall being in this room, parts of the giant precision scale were still there. Wish I snapped some photos of it...

	Motts Ah, yes - Red Dragon was the movie that was filmed here which I was thinking of. Thanks!

	Motts There's something called a Lenspen that will get most of it off, with a gentle hand.

Location: Hotel Heinrich Heine  Gallery: Mischevious Creatures

	Motts Can't remember - if prices were on there they were probably in marks, and so I really wouldn't know the equivalent exchange rate :-)

	Motts Actually the mold is the white stuff on a dark wall.

	Motts Hotelaufgang (hotel exit) Spielzimmer (playroom)

	Motts Sewing machine sounds right to me!

	Motts Luckily it was far enough away not to be terrifying, just startling. I actually never figured out which floor gave way - the place can be pretty maze-like and floors collapse every so often, changing the lay of the land.

	Motts Thanks - no I haven't really felt anything definitive (yet). After being in well over 100 abandoned institutions, I don't think it will happen at all...

Location: Pennhurst State School  Gallery: Forgotten

	Motts Yup.

Location: Kings Park Psychiatric Center  Gallery: The Quad

	Motts "its people that break and enter that make abandomed buildings be torn down" Not sure how you came to this conclusion. From what I've seen over the years, these buildings are demolished due to availability of funds, transfer of property, politics, or arson (as opposed to taking photos). Norwich was always pretty wide open, no breaking necessary.

	Motts It appears to still be standing as of 10/2011, however demolition seems imminent.

Location: Harperbury Hospital  Gallery: The Search

	Motts I believe it was for the lecture hall.

Location: Philadelphia State Hospital (Byberry)  Gallery: Sunlight

	Motts Not sure when I'd be in Dansville again.... who knows!

Location: Jackson Sanatorium  Gallery: Up in the Air

	Motts I haven't been back to Henryton; I think I enjoyed the odd duotone colors painted throughout the buildings the most, but as you say it's probably all behind spray paint these days. Thanks!

	Motts This room was on the top floor; the sloping ceiling is the roof line.
