They called it the Mayflower building because once you were on, you had to come across! See you in the ruins/////Phantom

Does anyone know if that is really true that the Mayflower ward was really isolation. It has been quit a few months since I have been there so I can not remember what buildings we were in but we have been in almost all of them and I never saw mattresses on the walls but I did come across rooms still locked, and I never have gone in the tunnels or up in the attics or down in the basements so I no we have missed stuff.

the mayflower building wasn't used for isolation. it was used for specialized containment for patients who were a danger to themselves or others, and were often badly abused and berated.

The Mayflower building was used for Profoundly Retarded Handicapped Male clients. Most were confined to wheelchairs and a few ambulatory. All had some sort of disability. Speaking from experience, from the late 70's to just about closing.

mikeymisery....there aren't that many buildings anymore past brown drive shit is still active. The main cluster (Admin, Whitman, Tinicum, Rockwell, Dietary, Devon etc) is basically what you can explore. I went up there just this Friday. It's incoated in fucking weeds. The admin building is terrifying. We walked the wrong way while trying to leave and ended up infront of that....scariest thing ever.
