Went there at 2-3 in the morning with a big group went in all buildings and explored all buildings had some creepy stuff happen but park in the neiboorhood and security and the cops aren't there that late been there at least 6 times in the last 2 weeks and haven't had any problems so good luck guys have fun be safe

The style of the iron balcony fences is Fin de Siecle or Jugenstil.
It is very nice too see,and a shame thet the building is neglected.

The style of the letters is Gothic, my mother has to learned that on school in Austria, difficult to read.

it really does seem like a waste. this place with the exception of the renovated nurses quarters still occupies nearly an entire block, and as a result if you park on reed between 4th and 5th, odds are you're going to get broken in to by some of the crackheads that lurk around the grounds.

for reference, i live across the street.

hey, I live in the neighborhood. only part of the building is apartments, i believe the old staff quarters. the rest of the block is still occupied by the hospital. it's got a for sale sign on it and there are various crackheads, maintenance types in and out. apparently there is some sort of rentacop to patrol the place but i've been here for years and i've seen plenty of crackheads (they love breaking in to cars on that block, the street is strewn with glass) and never 1 watchmen.

Thank you Mitch for your support.

short circuit, you can see the molten copper lying on the rotor, the
black partickles on the edge,
Forgive my English, i am from Holland, and i wish all of you a good
Christmas and a healthy 2011.

These are insulated copper windings, called a stator, and in the middle
this round thing is called the rotor, the rotor is attached on the turbine
and so making the electicity that we need.
It is a very fine example of craftmanship.

That Erich Wagner was not a fine doctor, he used to do medical experiments in the KZ Lager Buchenwald on Rumenian gypsys,
maybe he did that in the same building.
He injected them with poison, and strange fluids.

Well i go there a lot at lunch time, it is now a large wooded field called a nature walk.

Just God's way of acknowledging the rift that was always there.

The thing on the picture is a weight device
and it is called a bascule .

It is good you got in there when you could. I went there a couple days ago and it was roped off. Great shots!
