ironically the reason most people go to jail today is in plain sight in an abandoned one makes you wonder how the minds of some people work .lol

that note says it all doesnt it. I WANT TO GO HOME...someone finally put to words what everyone in one of these institutions probably thought every day of their existance there. that really says it all i think . shame most of them never got to go home...........

sad picture .........this is what becomes of your life when no one wants or cares about you. i agree leave the things where they are

seeing this theatre in pristine condition proves that constant patrol of the area keeps the vandalism down.a refreshing sight

very good pic.....when was this building abandoned? im impressed by the non graffiti and distruction usually found in these hospitals

agree the theatre does seem to be in great shape.suprising considering all the other theatre shots ive seen

what is that thing that looks like a kiddie pool in the back there?

i just dont understand why they didnt sell off the equipment that they leave in these places doesnt make sense to let it rot away in an empty building

who in their right mind would want to enter here.........this image is scary to say the least

what is the difference between isolation and seclusion they seem the same to me your away from the common element either way

agreed ...

agree with all the comments above......must say this is the most compelling shot yet...you really catch the feeling of this old asylum if only the walls could talk

i see what silkster mentioned. another hallway i wouldnt go down if you paid me.. forget the soothing colors and wall mural even if i had been a patient it would of been kicking and screaming ..as an observer i would be going in the other direction to the nearest exit

another hallway i wouldnt venture down unless being chased by the hounds of hell........otherwise beautiful shot

i give up ive stared at this picture for about 10 minutes and i can see nothing other than the beauty of the shot

thats a good question? a close family friend grew up in pennhurst she had quite a few problems adjusting to life outside of those walls took her along time to get herself adjusted being as the first 27 years of her life were spent there. she was placed there as an infant never really knew who her family was...spent alot of time helping her find out information.. she now knows who she is..and really doesnt care who she was..and ironically she wont talk about what happened to her while she was there she told me i wouldnt be able to deal with it..she knows me too well i guess.........

it amazes me that the curtains in these buidings seem to be in pretty good shape(most of them) for buildings that have been empty for 20+ years

agreed and i dont want to know what it was used for i can be very happy without this information....great gallery mr.motts applauding you as usual

i need one of those for my granddaughter

this is a terrifying image lol

agreed.........the thought of staying in one of them for more than the time it took to take this picture scares me

ive heard of these but never saw one till now thank you mr.motts..great photo

i imagine there isnt any easy access to this place since everthing seem to be intact here..no vandalism or graffiti such a refreshing look at a room that looks like they just left it

i love them too . love to see the curtains still hanging on an empty stage in a empty building

great shot the colors are amazing
