Stretch

That is a very beautiful shot! :-)

Those shadows and the cool retro tile floor are awesome!

Fantastic!!!!

checkers anyone??

Amazing shot, I love the way the light stretches the room.

so where is the rest of the ceiling blocks? you can see one or two fo them in the ceiling but the rest of them seem to have disappeared. the floor is in great condition as well.

this room looks pretty well preserved compared to the rest of the place

incredible shot!

lone pallet shot?

This looks like it was a dining room or something. The floor is nice.

if sunlight can get in, why can't we go out?..

Excellent light and an awesome shot!

Looks like a still from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

Great composition :-)

Nice shot. :-)

Ooh this one looks great, I love the lighting and the flooring.

Very nice shot Motts

Love the light on the floor! Very eerie. The ceiling tiles haven't been there for a while. Last pic of saw of this room was from like 2000 I think and they weren't there then either.

This is very beautiful. One of my favourites!

this is one of my favs on this site PLEASE MAKE THIS A WALLPAPER!!!!!!!!! it would be the most awsome

Somebody could play people checkers or chess. Big enough, huh?

lmao.scary...to empty..it looks like zombies are gonna start dancing 0.0

wow, there is noooo grafitti anywhere, huh?

tho you are in a physiatric center and this picture portrays that it's dark, and that's it's empty with no life, the light shining through the windows shows there is something almost watching over, brings light in a different sense to the room. it makes it feel wanting and ok.

The layout, including the cubicle room at the far end (probably equal distance from the side walls) bears a striking resemblance to the mess hall on Alcatraz.

Is it weird that I want to turn this into a loft?
Fascinating site. I'm transfixed.

This instantly reminded me of the scene from "Awakenings", where they fill in the white tiles with black shoe polish, so that the pattern will flow throughout the room and lead to the window.

I can't help but think of how sad it must have been to be a patient in this room; seeing the sunlight shine through the windor (which typacilly brings about good warm feelings) only the sunlight brings the grim reminder: The bars. The shadow brings the bars right in to the room today just as it did back then.
Sorry HELLO, nothing ok about it to me.

Most people probably felt much more imprisoned by their mental illness and its symptoms than by the hospital. It's also important to remember that many so-called normal people in the community are not very accepting of others who have mental illnesses or developmental disabilities. For at least some of the patients, the hospital was a safe haven from teasing, pointing, laughing, avoidance, and sometimes outright violence (think of the videos of homeless people being beaten by others just for kicks) they experienced outside the hospital. I've worked with people who forged genuine, deep friendships while in the hospital, friendships that have been maintained for many years after both were released. Others became very close to a specific staff person and had more "family" experiences with hospital staff than they ever did with their birth family.

AMAZING LIGHTING HERE!!!!! I GOTTA GET IN THIS PLACE EVERYTHING IS WELDED SHUT!!!!
