IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK. REMEMBER MENTAL ILLNESS IS THE CRUELIST DISEASE THERE IS. PEOPLE DIDNT UNDERSTAND IT AND TRAETED THESE PEOPLE HORRIBLY. AND NOW 100S OF YEARS LATER. PATAKI IS KILLING THEM ALL OVER AGAIN.

Disrepair

I spent a brief time working at hte Queens Centers for Progress.
It is sad to see that people are so quick to judge. Although the people that we care for are disabled they were still able to comunicate in their own way once you as your own person took the time to try to understand. QCP also has a work program, day treatment and in-house treatment facilities. It was by far the most rewarding job that I at 28 have had (I was also a Marine). I am not only lucky to have known the people and residents but will remember them forever.
Thank you Neal for bringing everyone closer to the truth. People are really just well, people.

Motts, Have you ever herd of a school out here in western Mass called the Belchertown State School??? It has been empty for about 12+ years its almost 100 years old and has many buildings on the 8oo+acre campus... you may wanna check it out. I think it would make a wonderful addition to your beautiful pictures

Gondola

Wow.. seeing that brings back some memories. I remember going to Rocky Point when I was a teenager (wont say how long ago that was :-S) with my stepmother to be the gold digger and my father, We went on this ride and my stepmother was so scared even though at it highest point it was only about 10 ft off the ground, She screame at the top of her lungs clinging so hard to my father he had almost instant bruising when we were able to undo her death grip...lmfao

Violent Ward

Lisa

ok anything that could possably stick out from the slat at the bottom of the door that could expell body fluids would be fair game to my boots.. Call me abusive, I myself have worn every body fluid known to man ......but........yuck.. the thought of some poor lost soul that has been stuck in a little room with probibly only a bed pan and no shower for god knows how long trying to launch body fluids on me just seriously grosses me out

Carriage

Lisa

Could it be possable that the hospital had a day care for employee's or possably one for outpatient care?? I dont know if they did outpatient but.. if there were tricycles and this carriage. My guess would be daycare.

I post at the old Worcester Hospital with my work and have always stared at the buildings in nothing but awe at the beauty. Looking at this picture give's me a new appreciation for its beauty. Its a sad thing that such buildings are going to waste . It is a relief to see that they are still in ok shape on the in side. Thank you for taking your wonderful pictures.
