The Hall

The Hall

It appeared that there had been a few arson attempts here, but luckily they failed to spread considerably.

Wow! I think I recognize this from Alias' pix as well! This must have been spectacular when it was first built.

i guess you can tell the diference from european buildings by the type of " finishing" used in the ceilings and walls ... similar purpose divisions or buildings in US are much more simple. or maybe its just me ...

The colors are amazing, between the roof and floor, and just everything. It's a good thing those arson attempts failed. I can envision a lively dance going on, or perhaps a big lecture for the doctors or whatever. =)

Wow! I love the colours in this, and the structure is really neat. I'm loving the ceiling and the stage (yes? no?)

Such a grand room. It's a wonder that the room survived so well. Just think of the unfourtunate (Insane) souls that spent their time in that room...sends a shiver down your spine.

I am an ex patient of this series of buildings. I find the state of decay and neglect more terrifying than the events experienced by me when under section there. I was given a debilitating course of drug treatment and three sessions of ECT during my internment, so you get the idea. I am more than delighted to correspond with anybody interested in my stay there.

Eeep ... that looks exactly like my school's hall.
How odd to think that maybe one day it could end up like this ...

this ballroom bears a remarkable resemblance to the one in whittingham hospital in england, very very similar design despite being a continent apart!!!

Ahhh, the hall looks amazing. I went there with my brother on January 6th, 2008.. To have a look around the site. I found it spectacular but most of all the hall was just immense, to stand in and take in all that I was seeing. I got so many images running through my head when I stepped in there, I was overwhelmed.
