guess the bad graffiti has sneaked into here also

Looks a lot drier than the last time you took pix here.

2 things....
1-What the heck IS that double-ringed thing in the middle of the floor?!?!
2-What's with the cauldron on the right? Eye of newt stew anyone?

Chandelier and making tons of soup for tons of people.

I agree with JO. Thats a lot of soup!

Very awesome space, great stuff!

Yes, I believe that looks like a chandeleir on the floor...there's one still hanging from the ceiling at the WAY far end of the shot.

Looks like the object on the right could be a mixing bowl...like for sauces, dough, etc. as opposed to a big kettle for cooking....but a mixing bowl is unlikely to be painted with various coats of paint like that one.

Creepy looking cafeteria though...more factory looking than dining.

yup those were my questions, especialy the ones about the cauldrons, any answers?

I don't want to eat in here.

What a creepy place! How they ever expected mentally ill people to get well in such a place is beyond all expectations.

Especially because I believe it looked EXACTLY like this all those years ago when it was in use. Pretty darned strange of those people, wouldn't you all say?

What does "CTG" stand for?

Good question! CTG?????

CTG = "Continued Treatment Group"

You can see in your minds eye the people herded up like cattle waiting for food

WHAT A WASTE, WHAT A WASTE, WHAT A WASTE.

love all your big hall shots.......

Reminds me of the theatre shot almost...

"Please, sir, may I have some more?"
--points at cauldron--

to bad this WHOLE building is gone now

After seeing so many photographs of state mental hospitals, goverment mental hospitals, insane asylum's, psychiatric hospitals and tuberculosis hospitals on the internet I have now come to the conclusion that all governments everywhere in the last 150 to 200 years have a special department that comes with a breed of dull and dim witted men who look like Frankenstein from the 1930's Hollywood film "Frankenstein". And these boring dolts approved the faceless buildings and mindless methods that were employed in the in the housing and caring of the sick and mentally ill without so much as a glance as to what they were doing or why they were doing it. Truely pathetic!
