No, the chairs weren't fastened to the floor... in fact they change how they are laid out every now and then.

Refreshing to see some graffitti that isn't merely black stick figures with someone's mothers' phone # next to it.

I was talking to a man today. When he was younger he used to have and go sing to the people in there. He told me some stuff about how creepy it was. Even when it was open. He told me the main thing he remmebrs about it is the smell. I guess it had a really high strong smell oh piss. I feel bad for him.

I was there yeterday. All the chairs were set up in 2 almost perfect circles. in the center of the circles was a strange configuration made up of some of the other chairs and other debris. Kind off spooky huh

you might find yourself sitting in a fresh puddle of spray paint (LOL)

Speaking of spray paint, what do they do with the empty cans? With the amount of tagging that goes on in these places, they should be littered everywhere. In all the photos I've viewed here so far, I think I saw one. Possibly somewhere in Byberry.

Hey Motts, I'm not sure where you live but i'm in the new york metro area and work for a construction supply company and we supply mag lights of many sizes and colors. I can get them for you at whole sale cost. It would have to be at the most 2 at a time, but i should not be a problem.

I figure i'd mention it since you said you lose them all the time.

Feel free to email me at buckykatt317@yahoo.com. After you contact me at the yahoo address i will give you my home email address.

I just don't want 50 orders for mag lights lol.

let me know!

Initially designed for entertainment, but they could also be used for meetings and in-service training as well.

Thank You Lynne

Sun 12-10-2006

Place is gone now so I don't care saying it, but it took us all morning to set up the damn chairs like that. I was hot as hell too.

Then that night, some retards tried to burn down the building!

Later on they got rearranged in circles fooling around...

God that place was fun

I've got a DVD copy of a tour of DSH from 1992. You should see the condition of the hospital in that DVD. Almost pristine.

I've looked at so many pictures of abandoned hospital auditoriums recently that when I went to vote at my neighborhood school today, I thought *it* looked oddly different, with all its signs of active use by a bunch of active children.

It looks just exactly the way I saw it in my head when I read about it. So amazing!

@Trakker,
Please don't use the term 'retards'. It means 'mentally ill/challenged' and is very disrespectful.
@Allison,
I love that book! I've read it twice! I can't find it anywhere in the new place I live, though! It sucks! :P

Haley

Sun 08-05-2012

@Motts,
I am loving all of these pictures! Ever since I read Project 17, I wanted to know more about DSH. I search things randomly.
I've actually been wondering if anyone from my family was ever a patient or worker there. Does anyone know how I can find out?
if so, email me here:

Thanks!!!
