I used to see this when I was a kid and it always seemed kind of spooky to me. I imagined great shipwrecks.

Hey Arnie:
It does resemble a "Ghostly Outline". I wonder what this room was used for ...

Hello Lyric. I agree with you. Perhaps not a "Cloaked Monster" ... but - a Psychotic Patient ... holding a gleaming, sharp medical instrument ... just waiting ...

Interesting (and CREEPY !) photos. One can't help but wonder what types of "medical proceedures" really were done to the patients ???

Disrepair

Neal: I remember the parties in the staff residence, the old Coke machine, and the gatherings around the first TV in about 1948. I'm three years older than Judy and I think closer to being your contemporary---friend of Tommy, Herb, and Bubby. My passion was soccer; I grew up with the recent immigrants from Europe and they quickly brought me up to their standard of play. At least in my memorary that is so. Now, my youngest son plays with the same passion and dreams of the World Cup. You remind me that our world was pretty much like the norm in the 40s and 50s, from Howdy Doody to Coke. But, it was also more communal on the circle of houses than I ever found again. The physicians and staff from all I could tell were skilled, dedicated, and humane. Remember square dancing in the large room near the commisary?

Bonner Medical

Rob

When I was a teenager in the 60's we used to drive up to the hospital at night with our friends in the car...I would stall the car out and pretend to not be able to start it back up...It was very creepy with the headlights off and the moonlight shining over the face of the building...The grounds were taken care of and you could drive by the Bonner building and circle back in front of the main building...or drive on the road out back...The bars on the window and the gothic spires were beautiful and scary at the same time..What I didn't know at the time was that my own mother was sent there a few years later and I had to go visit her at the Bonner building...So I have fun and sad memories of the place...I am so happy you took the time to document this place and I found it online...Thank you
