The perspective here sells this shot and captures the subject perfectly. Very well done, and of course it is a shame it is all lost to us now.

If people were never caged, then the rest of us would never appreciate our freedom.

Fresh air is FRESH air.... many inhabitants were allowed grounds privledges and able to freely roam the campus with golf course, tennis courts etc.during dayllight hrs only. You could even check out golf clubs.

I lived in this hospital on the childrens ward for a yr and a half. I left right before it closed when I was 15. This is was what our view looked like from our bedroom windows. Not a nice place at all. The building was infested with cockroaches that would fall from the ceiling panels. Sad sad place.
