Nurses Station

Yes, Ron. That was the way it was done and awyper, the patients' needs were alway dead last. The nurses didn't want to have to get off their rearends and go door to door. Been there.

It is very sad that they are tearing this down, but thanks to you, Motts, we will know what it looked like inside and out for many years to come!! Keep up the good work. :)

I agree, Truckie. All of these wonderful pics are showing the pain and sadness of the people that were there.

My bet is those scratches were made by the poor souls that were locked in there at the time and it was their only way of showing their anxiety and fear.

Seclusion Rooms

This is probably where they put the patients that acted out. And they probably stayed in there til the dang nurse or whoever so fit to let them out. Jerks.

Yet another pic that could be from "Snake Pit" Mr. Motts, if you haven't seen that movie, I would highly recommend it. That goes for everyone.

Has anyone here seen the classic old move, "Snake Pit"?? This looks like it came out of that movie. Great job, Mr. Motts.
