My Grandmother was a patient back in 1933 after she gave birth to my dad out of wedlock and the father was a married man.. Her family had put her in there after the embarassment...She passed away 15 years later and they released he body to her siblins. I dont know much of her and when they buried her, they didnt put my dad's name on the newspaper clipping. My great aunts and uncles were ashamed of her and my dad. My family came from wealth but we never seen a dime of it. Which..dont bother me one bit because I was my dads daughter...he is up in heaven now with my grandmother. (FYI...my dad was a patient there as well back in 1960s) I wish that i could find records of the patients names...

I was raised in a little patch just north of this breaker. Those rollers were covered with a wide rubber belt that carried either rock or coal to another destination ore treatment.

Great shot!

The facility is massive. It is so interesting. I would love to go in. I am assuming you have to sneak in or break in to go inside any of the buildings.

The pictures and the history fasinates me. I too would love to see inside these homes. It's an eerie but intriguing site.

actually looks like a cool house to live in
