Joy It's just common practice to avoid numbers of bad omen, even in today's world. My guess would be that there was never a patient #666. Just like buildings missing the 13th floor. (In china it's usually the 4th & 13th floor missing in commercial buildings. 4 sounds like death or die in chinese) Anyway, sorry to post dribble in an old gallery. Saw the updates, glad you're back!

	Joy You know Pegasus64, from what Motts wrote, "it was briefly used for Nazi propaganda", The amount of time Hitler used these areas was very minute. Than they were used for various reasons by the average German citizen and I am sure not all of them agreed with everything Hitler was doing.

	Joy This is definately one of my favorites. To think this once was probably very clean and pristine. Now it looks almost like a cave entrance. Also invokes the "What lies beyond?" question. A brilliant picture!!! Thanks

	joy It definitely looks like an eye in the window...

	Joy Those really are some high tech portable soap dispensers complete with an on/off switch. Nice to see the evolution of the soap dispenser documented here. These may have even come equipped with a light.

	Joy It's the wheel itself that fascinates me. Doesn't it look like something you'd picture while reading "Journey to the Centre of the Earth"?

	Joy The circles/transport pads furthers the theory that Motts teleports to these locations.

	Joy I wonder what that shelf way up on the first arch was for? It also looks like a fake plant is still hanging on the wall. This was a rare find indeed. No graffiti or vandalism.

	joy Stacy I survived a institution. I visited Letchworth a month ago and felt such a sense of loss. Please let me know more about your brother. Also the burial grounds that are so unkept. Im an artist wishing to do a piece on children in institutions.

	Joy I don't have extensive experience with photoshop but cutting something so intricate out seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth. I think the angle of the traction machine made it look off but it looks to me like that that is all it is the odd angle.

	Joy It looks like they were playing a game of squares. But instead of putting your initials in the square you put your name on the chair.

	Joy Meant to update, something went screwy, There are now 9 pages that reference a soap dispenser. I can't stop laughing...

Location: Kings Park Psychiatric Center  Gallery: Buildings 39, 138, 139

	Joy After about 30 references to that soap dispenser, I finally did a search of the site to find out what the joke was... there were a LOT of matches (4 pages!). It took a while to find the original. Good jokes never die I guess.

	Joy Man a sink with no soap dispenser, well I have seen plenty of lonely soap dispenser milling about. Perhaps we can match the two up... Why here's one now: http://www.opacity.us/...753_getting_late.htm
