The rooms facing the outer perimeter of the building were pitch black from the boards.

It's in the process. I was up there last week, and I had to climb up the back of the hill, because work was going on in the road. They're mostly working on the 'left' [your left if you're driving up the entrence] of the grounds.

This area is clean because it used to be the porch. Looks like C-2. There was no paint or tile to get funky. slamviche@yahoo.com

I was a staff member at the Metropolitan State Hospital from 1952 up intill 1969 and I have to say that some of the treatment of patents by the staff was absolutely outragous. You would see patents being physically and mentally abused quite frequently including the younger pre-teen patents that I knew of who passed through the childrens ward. The staff was quite merciless and cruel toward patents and I will never forget the 16 tough years that I spent here and I will never forgive the horrible staff.

I worked there when the Dept of Revenue stored old tax info from 87-90. I was mostly closed except for ward a,b & c for the 1st & 2nd floors. We were on the 3rd floor,it was real creepy being in there, but I never saw anything really scarey.

Motts, I drove up there last night (it's open now with people already living in the condos) but I can't figure out if you took photos of the so called "children's ward". If not why?

The psychiatric hospital for children and adolescents was called the Gaebler Center, although it was on the grounds of MSH, I believe it was its own separate facility, so I listed it as a separate location - http://www.opacity.us/...childrens_center.htm

Ok I actually went into the childrens ward yesterday, the night before I drove by the admin building. So my new question is (now that I saw the "scariest places on earth" special, how were you not worried about asbestos?
