Top Floor

Due to fire damage, the top floor of the infirmary is exposed to the elements. The floors are surprisingly sturdy however.

Yes. To the right of the picture, you can clearly see a bit of the elevator room.

this is kinda disturbing in nature, but this would be a cool place for senior photos or something other of that nature. ... The meanings behind each pic could be endless and wonderful...

Yeah, this is the old women's infirmary. The state built a large tuberculosis building (N-10) in the '50s, but when TB was nearly eradicated, they no longer had a need for that building. So, since N-10 was filled with medical equipment, they turned that into the new infirmary. This building was left vacant until demolition in 2006.
