of course I hope everyone knows that i meant that the patient that was therevsince 1903 was in a regular room in the 60's and wayyyy before. He was in the underground cells when they were being used long long before the 1960's.
Also the trainees were told never to try to go through the underground tunnels, because they would get lost. The tour was in a mapped out part.

My sister was being trained there in the 60's.She was taken on a tour with other new trainees through the underground tunnels. The patients were (roomed) there at one time. iIthink she had said the violent ones.I'm not sure. Any how there was still a patient in the hospital that was there when the underground cells were used. A lot of patients would be all in one cell, some even chained. they were hosed down with fire hoses either weekly or monthly. It was before the bathrooms were put in down in there. She was told all of this. The man that was in one of the underground cells at one time and was still there in the 60's was committed in 1903. They were all told that too.
I went pass the place a lot in the Summer of 1993,the sign was hanging on it's broken chain on one side old and rusty looking. The first time I put in my mind that I wanted to see the place, but I never got around to. I knew that the place held a lot of history and I too was totally disgusted when I heard of it being sold and that it was to be demolished. When it was demolised I was saddened. It was such a grand old place and should've been preserved for it's historical value.
Well, walmart has gotten their just desserts lol. No one will ever be able to use the land. The people who lived, worked and died there still have the property.
