Common Room

Common Room

Individual patient rooms opened up to a square day room here; just about all the doors had glass observation windows in this ward.

Must not have been the more violent patients if there was glass in the doors. This looks so melancholy.

Looks like a person would have to bend over to look in or out!?

I like the wooden doors and the glass windows....it just seems more organic and human instead of think metal doors....

Remines of isolation in prison or something.

There appears to be something printed on the glass in the doors. Do you happen to know what it was?

OMG as a child I was put there by my father. The state had to fight to get me out. The state won but I spent 9 months on Kettle North 3. What a horrible thing for a 12 year old. I still have nightmares.

Glass on the doors usually means that the patient was either very violent or criminal.

OMG I can't imagine putting our almost 12-year-old in one of these places...I shudder at the mere thought of it!

What could you have possibly done to warrant such an extreme punishment as that?

You don't have to answer Valerie...but like the others, I too am curious about how a parent could do that to a child...

I love when there's still a framed picture on the wall of a decrepit room... decor's still trying somehow to brighten up the place...
