This is such an amazing shot!
what did the bottles have on them??what name??
They weren't labeled.
Is that paper all piled up like that?
Deteriorating cardboard boxes with dividers that held the bottles.
Wow, nice! I love those old medicine bottles. Found one once while triapsing through the woods looking for remnants of this old school that had once been there..

Very cool shot.
Radiator cover or a small cabinet?
Amazing those are not broken. I like how the 2 larger ones are sitting up on that heater. Very good pic, probably my favorite of the new group of pics.
If they weren't labelled then I presume they weren't filled either at the time. It makes sense to take the medications with you when you leave (even though we've seen differently).
WHY WOULD THEY TAKE THE MEDICATION AND NOT THE BOTTLES?
Perhaps they were still in their original boxes and brand new, waiting to be filled at the hospital pharmacy? That is my guess.
Hi there, ~Me! :-) Looks like it's probably a radiator cover....
Great shot. Nice color contrast and mood. Although every time I see a shot of wasted supplies, gives me the shivers.
Whow, powerful shot.
hell of a party.... sorry I'm late
Probably some experimental goop they made sure was not labeled (or traceable).... but all the same got shining reviews from mysterious sources.... for the docs to proudly administer! Then retire to Florida!
Yep. that's us asshat doctors, kin to the fatass nurses who are so damnably lazy. We are all retired now and living off the fat of the land in Florida from the trust funds set up when we manufactured all those bogus medications to torture the people we had sworn to serve.

Detestable swine, aren't we? :-)
And to think of all the money I spent buying these bottles on ebay for my collection!
Ahhhh yes Lynne, when you going to pop by to see my new manor house Ive purchased with my spoils? Though we should have steered away from the mental health field and focused on bogus weight loss schemes. Damn!
What is that white roll?
Bandages, paper or TP?
I'm assuming those bottles were awaiting being filled and given to the patients in the out-patient program that was once run by the hospital. But then again, what the hell do I know. I do know that there is a room there with thousands of keys and a key-cutter where they used to cut their own keys for all the doors in the hospital.
Yeah that room was interesting... too bad all the keys to Salmon are gone.
theres a keyroom in one of the tunnels huundres of thousands of thems
TIME FOR YOUR MELLARIL
Mellaril? With all the current black box warnings? I don't think so ...
Those bottles look like the ones they used for shampoo that the pharmacy use to fill .
Matt you knoiw what they say about mellaril you never will on Mellaril !! Yes to the keyshop in the maintence builiding , the place was amazing i still have all my keys to most of those buildings .
Steve, I am thinking you are gonna get popular around here pretty fast. ;-)
wish i could collect the old bottles,they
would probly be worth something.
yall need to spend a night in there and ten u will never wanna see pics of it again try it like i did BUT u have to do it on the 30th of october and trust me you will be shooke
Anyone know where the keyroom is?
anna, all that paper in a pile was once boxes. they were shiped there full o medacine
What kind of medicine would be in those bottles? They seem like they would be kind of big.
In more modern times, they
gave all the patients, regardless of their
comditions, two major tranquilizers, Thorazine and Melleril...well, that must have kept it simple lol
It wasn't exactly modern pychotropic medicine at it's best.
Looking at this picture, it looks like everyone just up and left...
I hope they're not all supositories
please let me know how you got in. i go there all the time and ive gotten inside but ive never seen half of this stuff.
Amazing shot.
Really hits some wounds.

I was put in an asylum from the time I was eight, until two years ago when I was fourteen. These places are awful... you're treated like a problem instead of a person. I know what it's like to put under heavy sedation, to be put in straight jackets while you scream... and I know what it's like to be stared at when you hallucinate and seem to be out of pace with the world.

Glad to be out of that hell hole. Too bad the treatment didn't last.

But enough of that. As I said. Amazing shot.
i like this.
Amber glass is more often used for chemicals, not medications.
I myself have visited these buildings on various trips through Conn. I am always drawn back, and often.... The intenisity of the whole area, even the Hebrew Cemertry beside it, is addictive!!! Took many pictures, and do so enjoy yours.... ^-^
Can anyone tell me if they have been here recently, we are very interested in checking it out so any tips would help thanks great pics
Why does this picture creep me out so much? I can just imagine people walking in this place and it just creeps me out.
did u take any bottles?
When I worked at the Cape Dispensary we would get boxes of bottles like this. We would hand write labels & fill the medications per doctor's orders.
