Walkway

yes!--really dig the perspective on this one...

This is actually quite a poignant shot in itself after having watched the 1968 "Suffer the Little Children" documentary (http://nbc10.feedroom. ... et.jsp?ord=263067) and seeing these elevated walkways, which seemed to encircle the entire campus, thronged with patients moving from one cottage to another. They feature in numerous images I've seen of the place. Now they're overgrown and ruined like the rest of the facility. I bet they still echo with the ghosts of these ruins though...

Talking of STLC, I'm sure I also saw a picture on another site of the remains of the hand-painted Pennhurst sign (ugly horrible thing IMO) beside which Bill Baldini narrated much of his report - very eerie. Unfortunately I can't find it again now :(

Oh my god Motts! This shot, oh my god, oh my god, This shot, Oh my god!

How long has this been empty?

its been empty for a good 20 years now

rich edwards, that link doesn't work. Do you have another one?

The scalloped design on the top of the buildings remind me a lot of the design theme of Noho.

all you have to do is google pennhurst. the third item down is title 1968: the pennhurst special report........wcau(nbc)

freaky looking

looks like the Haunted Mansion at Disney World, or an evil castle! VERY dramatic!

This photography is fasinating!

I tried to register to your rss feed, but there was a error appending it to google right ascension

what an amazing place! i'm trying to get down there to photograph but i think security is gonna be tight because of "ghost hunters" a couple weeks ago. i don't believe in that stuff but the show is interesting but they sure make it difficult to explore after the fact...
