Were there hot tubs on that floor... ? So that those hospital patients could take baths and relax.

Unit

When that machine was being used, it probably did get very hot in the 1930's.

Sub-level

Did those bottom level rooms keep several of those very sick or forgotten hospital patients... ?

Sunset Shadows

Beautiful green scenery and I wonder how many lonely people did stare at that green forrest when they were thinking about their families

Toilet

Peyton C. II

I am guessing that there must have been many very sick people that did sit on that toilet. That room does have many germs in it.

Ominous Entrance

Peyton C. II

That prison was not a bad place to live in, I think that they might have actually cooked good food in there.

This machine might have been used to have tested a persons heart rate.

Basement Chair

Peyton C. II

That wheelchair also reminds me of that movie that is called, "The Changeling".

The Hole

Peyton C. II

Motts,... that deep black hole... is either very dirty water or its black soil that does have steel pipes and other steel debris that is stuck in it.

Motts, you do have an artistic passion for taking thought provoking pictures of old buildings.

Remaining Bed

Peyton C. II

There were most likely thousands of people that did sleep on that bed.

I have rarely seen any bed that was so disfigured in its structural alignment for a patients comfort.

Attack of the Peels

Peyton C. II

This room looks like it may have been used for a doctors office.

Why would I think that this picture is probably showing a former doctor's office... ?

Answer,... please notice,... those tight architectural corners in the upper right hand side of this picture.

Usually the only reason as of why that an architect would have designed such tight corners in his blueprint for that side of this light green room is to build the structural interior walls for a small doctor (or nurse) office.

Shedding Skin

Peyton C. II

Motts,... you have stated that floor is solid.

And,... I have heard some people say that if a building has a solid foundation, that anyone can renovate an old building.

Obviously,... in this photograph this picture does show that this floor is solid... so has anyone thought about reopening this building for 21st Century business purposes... ?

At the Bar

Peyton C. II

Probably the only reason why someone decided to sketch this colorful 1940's bar room picture is because there are a lot of Americans that do have their favorite bar that they do enjoy drinking and talking to their friends in it (bar).

That individual that was drawing this picture may have become so emotionally distraught of being a patient at that hospital for possibly a long period of time, and he or she may have wanted to return to or to remind themselves of their favorite neighborhood bar that they (hospital patient) wanted to draw that picture as another form of a psychological escape or to try to help themselves to relax in their medical environment.

Purgatory

Peyton C. II

Are those bricks man made (instead of being processed in a 20th Century factory)... ?

I have seen 19th Century man made bricks and these bricks that are in that above photograph do seem to be man made.
