This would be perfect to concerts and gigs. I bet the acustics are really good.

I would assume both, since the stage is rigged for live performances.

How many people would you guess this house could seat? It's an enormous auditorium!

I used to go to shows here in the 1960's. My mother worked at this hospital for years. The patients would put on variety shows and here were movie nights The whole place was a city unto itself. Had its own power plant, farm, bakery, wood shops, etc. Not the best of all worlds but now the chronically mentally ill live on the streets.

I was thinking the same thing as Kevin. Has our treatment of the mentally ill improved or is it way worse? I don't have an answer.

One can only imagine how beautiful that must have been when it was new, not to say it's not beautiful now. It's nice to see the natural state of the theater without graffiti and vandalism.

I love the side enterance thingies on each side of the stage. They almost look like giant, old fireplaces. This must have been stunning new. Such a shame...
