Mural Room

Mural Room

This room on the first floor holds paintings by an unkown patient on it's walls depicting life in the hospital in the 60's or 70's. Newsday wrote an article explaining them.

Lord, someone's life abandoned like that. SO sad.
i live in kp and i love the history<33
anybody, need a bed, desk or night stand?
i am definately going to post my pictures. I was in this room and building. we used the maze of tunnels to try to access other building but got lost. These places are so great.
Why all the mess? Vandels? --Then someone should get rid of it.
those mental people must of been really upset!
*Sighs and rolls eyes*

The only thing that "Those mental people" have to get upset over is your uneducated and seemingly pointless comment. People who were patients (which is what intelligent people call them) came to stay here to receive specialized, around the clock care at this hospital.

The mess that was captured in this picture is from years of vandals and bored people coming into the abandoned institution and destroying it, not from agitated patients. The facility closed over 10 years ago.
Thanks, CAS. Very well said. : )
yes its horrible taht people have to come into places like this and mess with how everything was left its almost like messing with people lives (and im not talking about waht motts does he goes into these places to take pictures of these great historical buildings for the art of HOW THEY WHERE LEFT! he doesnt destroy the property at least i hope he doesnt if he does then shame shame
i think before they desroy it they should use it for a movie....how creapy would that be!?!
aww!! i feel bad for the people who had dreams of art! Their baeutiful art peices are ruined! Before they died probally they only thought of their work!
very very sad!!!!!
they alredey made a movie it is called hiddin suburbea
this is the room w/ the creepy Jesus on the wall, right?
Thank You CAS .
At least the vandals seem to have left the murals alone- maybe if they were graffiti artists, they respected mural art, albeit of a different genre. Getting the patients to depict their daily lives via such a shared kind of creativity, for all to see, seems like quite a progressive idea back then- for a public institution, anyway.
The furniture doesn't even look smashed, just toppled over- it may not have been kids up to no good, perhaps some furniture was badly stacked and toppled over in a draught or something.
This room is a mess. Really is abandoned, but not forgotten.
spooky
the buildings should be inspected to see which ones are salvatble and which ones are beyond repair. demolish the beyond repair ones and salvage the rest.
CAS, im pretty sure he was just kidding, u just wasted your comment. 0_o
