There was an observatory type of thing in the administrative building the view amazing. It was built for the beauty of the area that surrounded it. Btw I live on the grounds in a new apartment. My maintence guy says he hears noises & weird stuff in the S old nurses residence ( now apartments)

Kirkbride believed in natural lighting. Their buildings are constructed wih love & care.

In it's time prior to being abandoned this institution had some of the best food. I don't know why the remarks of the food here. They had a farm and grew their own food. They produced their own electricity. This place took care of itself years. Unfortunately the govt kept allowing increase in patients were it became over crowded & the state couldn't afford to maintain the buildings. Very sad. Drs & their families lived here on the grounds along with nurses, med students etc.

cant wait till my ex goes there for her DUI. 90 days in the hole. Way to go Tonya.
