	blue lamp Dirty moldy old towel....yuck thats for sure I totally agree.....I'm sure alot of things are living on that towel.....never to go away.....scary......

	blue lamp It looks like this room is really falling apart. It appears that something electrical is hanging down in the middle of the room. Any clues as to what that went to? It looks strange really.

	blue lamp I wonder what ward B was....whom was in ward B?Its just sad no one can find another use for these buildings but thats how it goes I guess. It is a shame though.....and a waste.

	blue lamp Yeah this place looks huge....wow. Great shot though!! Just think how busy this place was at one time......

	blue lamp Another great picture Motts....as always!!The trees look like skeletons with no leaves and so barren....almost sad in a way. I'm surprised that the grass is so neat and trimmed. Almost looks like someone cut it. Usually at abandoned places its so long.....this looks so nice....wow!!

	blue lamp Nice picture....the fog makes it look really spooky like.....

	blue lamp That staircase is beautiful....esp. the railing....what iron work.....I'm actually surprised its still there too. I'm sure it was just beautiful back in its heyday......Its really a shame that this building is not in use in someway. That in itself is a waste. They just don't make them like this anymore.....or to last as long either......

	blue lamp Yeah it does seem really large. Wow....all that paint peeling too.....I'm sure this was beautiful back in 'the day'.....can you just think of how busy it was at one time......one can ponder can't one...wow!!They don't build them like that anymore thats for sure.....wow!!! Was the floor wood Motts or title? Its hard to tell with all of the dirt etc on it?? Just wondering.....Thanks!!! :)

blue lamp Always great to see new galleries up Motts. What a shame these big beautiful buildings are sitting vacant. I do hope they are gonna use or restore some of them. If not what a shame.....It was probably very beautiful back in its heyday. Thanks for the historical pictures too Motts. I wish there where inside historial pictures. Maybe on those web sites you had listed. I'll have to check those out. Can't wait. Thanks so much....now onto the gallery!!!

	blue lamp I know I wouldn't want to be in that bed that was so close to those doors. It would be a busy place esp if they were wheeling pts outside alot? It just seems as if it wouldn't be restful at all. Even with the curtains up. Ugh!! At least IMO...but who knows....Plus I'm surprised theres so much glass left in the doors and windows ....very interesting too.....

	blue lamp Love the new gallery Motts.....great picture.....love it and love the old hospital galleries!! there awesome!!

Location: Constance Sanatorium  Gallery: Hospital Two

	blue lamp It does look like something or someone is in front of the door.(Or a ghost) Its a cool picture though....and all the light coming through the windows it does appear the lights are on though I'm sure they weren't......great pic as always Motts.

blue lamp Yeah I think this oven is no more.....it was in use alot back in its day though I'm sure......a silent sort of death really. Kinda sad just like the building.....its dying a slow death of sorts.....Great picture as usual Motts. Interesting paint colors on the wall behind....all those different colors that they changed over the years.....it can be very telling. If walls could talk.......I'm sure these would say alot........

	blue lamp Poor typewriter its seen better days.....cool picture though. I also see what looks like a fireplace too !!! No soap dispensers hanging around yet though......LOL....

blue lamp Thanks for the wallpaper Motts. Its such a wonderful picture. It looks like those chairs are in the same spot they were last left when they closed the place. Its like a band of chairs all together just waiting for someone to sit in them. They look so lonely really. Its almost sad in some ways ......Its werid when you see the curtians all gone too. All torn up. Just think this was a very busy place at one time.......some thoughts to ponder..........

	blue lamp Yeah that box is in great condition for 30+ yrs now. Even the bottles too. Wow if it was something from today it probably wouldn't last as well even......I agree with Dawn Michelle...Toot you are a hoot and cool too!!! I always love reading your comments & Lynne's too....wheres Lynne at??

	blue lamp Yeah that boy is missing his face.....kinda scary. Its a shame all those electrical outlets had to be put over the tiles....what a waste.....it ruins all that beautiful tile work.

Location: Clairvaux Tuberculosis Hospital  Gallery: Epicenter

	blue lamp It 's nice to see that they have lasted this long.....and not broken into small pieces with all the vandels out there. Its very very colorful. I also like the stars and strips too.

	blue lamp Even though this TB Hospital is different in color & look so far. It does follow Waverly Hills with the outside terraces for pts to be wheeled out on.....cool. Its interesting that they thought this would help pts with TB.
