Mirror

Well, that's even creepier; I have a mirror of the same design in my house right now. Mine's full-length, but it's definitely the same--this probably came off of the matching vanity. We also have a couple of other pieces of furniture from the same line. I don't know why seeing something so similar to the furniture I have should creep me out, but it kind of does.

7 years bad luck

I feel certain that the 7 years have long since expired.

Wonder what it says on that paper, or what's in the drawer

That is so amazing! The broken mirror is just perfect for this place!

Was any thing in the drawer,Motts

i have that exact same mirror with the matching vanity table...weird

ooooh.

I love this shot. Well done, it tells a story.

Now this is a contemplative piece.

Actually...I have a display stand with glass shelves that has the same design as that around the mirror.

Broken mirror - broken dreams or emotional suffering.

on the paper it says "turn around" and nothing (relatively) unusual is in the reflection of the mirror. then you turn around and it's Dracula! RUN!!! YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY DRACULAS!!!

I have that mirror on my vanity in my bedroom.

I want it! Its pretty. Perhaps it was a little girls room.

when did this place close down? cuz some of the furniture looks new there. like the mirror! that would match the furniture in my room perfectly.

Uh oh. 7 years of bad luck

Towel Head,
It isn't closed down. This building is owned by the County/State and this is only a disused section of it. I'm not going to identify it out of respect for Mott's work and his request. But it is currently used and has variously been almost completely empty and chock full since it was built in 1932.

I've just looked at google earth and th emain hospital building and the layout at least of the buildings out back right down to the location of the swimming pool are still the same as they were in the 60's. The google earth pic is from 7-5-07 I think they built condos in the same layout or by rehabbing and adding onto the older buildings. The street views are of taller more modern looking buildings but the google view has a layout that looks correct for what I remember. Oh yea that dirt lot is stilll a dirt lot,. They used to park county trucks there.
The hospital itself was never well maintained at least from the time I was there and the neglect inflicted damage I saw as a chiuld in the 60's was from my adult experience as a construction worker, not kept up since probably 1955 or so. Right about the time the county bought it. Hmmm no surprise there. Forget about it! :-] I crack me up

Humble pie for me.
I just looked at a historical aerial photo of the place from 2000 and I'm struck dumb. I recognize the old buildings in a sort of kind of way. It was the hospital that I remembered mainly because of the time I spent in there. But I'm humbeld because I thought I recognized the layout of those condos as the footprint of the old childrens shelter even the pool somehow. I wonder...I never saw the pool I was only told about it as a torment since I wasn't allowed to go. But all my siblings did.
Anyway one more sign that this search is going to be just as difficult to sort out as the original experience was to endure.
If you're gonna be dumb, you'd better be tough.

Wow, I feel ashamed for not recognizing that the buildings were different, heck there are trees out where that dirt field is now. I wonder if I can find a photo from 1964-67? They don't looks so big.
And Mott's I did recognize some of the places you posted. Too bad they're gone it'd almost be worth a trip to trigger some memories.

Wow thanks Motts. I see now how I made the mistake a couple of the buildings are still there along C. street

I wonder what the many faces that stared into that mirror looked like?
