Back Rooms

Thanks so much for another great gallery of thought -provoking photos! Always a pleasure to get to see what you see! :)

Yeah great way to start the day !
Thanks Motts so very much for another
great gallery. :)

Now withdraw sets in.

Reminds me of my old Daycare center.

Love this album. More great finds from our friend Mr. Motts. Thank you!!! :)

thanks great shots. place seems kind of creepy. I really enjoyed this set.

Thanks for making a rainy dreary day bright again!

Motts,your the man. Thank you very much for a wonderfull evening

motts, thanks for another ride. enjoyed it very much. have you thought or been out west or to the south even? lots of things to see down here as well.

Motts Thanks for another wonderful gallery to see. Motts How do you come up with these names on the gallery.

Do you write your synopsis at the time of your visit or do you do it when you post the gallery. You must have a good memory if you do it later, so maybe you keep notes? Whatever, you do fine work and your history and stories of trips are fine writing. As for this shot, I love old equipment being the tech man that I am. So seeing shots of old office equipment, projection room gear or hospital wards is orgasmic! Thanks!

Come to the Milwaukee Motts

Please come to Boston Mr. Motts, alot of people are leaving because they cant afford it so there will be plenty of places for you to photgraph.

Thank you for another amazing set of photos and thank you for sharing your genius with all of us

I wonder if they still make those shiny bricks anymore.....? I can't decide if I like the blue or the yellow better. They're so.....institutional!
Anyhow, thanks again Mr. Motts. We appreciate all the effort & $$ it takes to do these expeditions!

Thanks again Motts! I would love to see your galleries from the South! Your Katrina shots sound like a great gallery....

Aww :(
Great gallery, nice to see something a bit modern/different (not that I'm complaining, I love a good old mental asylum)

Molto bene Signore.
Looking forward to the next gallery!

Come back soon Motts !

Thank you once again, Mr. Motts,as ALWAYS it's been a real pleasure!

And thank you to those who comment on here as well, I really enjoy reading them and adding my own! :) See you on the next site!

- Dawn Michelle

check out the other galleries while waiting.
lots of great sites to see. :)

Great gallery Motts. Hi Debbie, long time no see.

Thanks A.D. Mr. Motts is awesome, I have put this on my favorites! Have a great weekend,and see you on these future sights, I know I am looking forward to them! :)

As per usual Motts, another fantastic Gallery.

Sir - you should take one of those small dictating tape recorders with you when you go on photographic trips. That way you can "talk" your notes for writing down later on in the future. And who knows, you may even capture a few EVP's! I took one to a cemetery I was photographing and later on when I played it there were some odd sounds that I couldn't explain.

Thanks again Motts!

Hi! JackieB. Miss u so so much. We have to meet someday.

MOTTS!!! Come to Scranton PA...ugh...we have SO many abandoned places in and around the city. You would have a field day! :)

And I would love to thank AD Nilson for her on-going pointless commentary throughout the photo set.

I look forward to your awesome thoughts at every location.

just a couple notations to you. For the most part I really enjoyed this. But I do have one pet peeve.......I worked there when people were getting fired. and yes there were 22 who were fired. But no one remembers that 21 of those same people were hired back, because the charges were unsubstantiated. I have the news paper clipping stating they were rehired. At the time the powers that be wanted that place closed so they could build south Pointe. They did not have the paients welfare in mind. It was a set up. The Observer Reporter finally noted the rehire of the staff. That is why the parents and staff fought so hard to keep it open. That dear sir is why to others it seemed like the parents did a sudden turn around. They found out the truth behind that whole ordeal. Forgive me if I sound a little snippy. that is not my intention. I just get offended and offensevive because all the people I worked with were caring people. we used our own time and took paitents out to dinner and shopping, to ballgames, and plays AND even to kennywood. some of whom had never had the opporitunity to go outside of that place before then. mostly because they were behavior problems. So if at all possible I would appriciate an update written about the rehiring of these individuals as the documentation exisits. Now all that aside, just a little explanation of the stainless picture. some of the patients were severly physically handicapped and we laid them on those to bath them properly. I hope that helps your readers to better understand that particular picture. Thank you in advance for at least taking the time to read this.

And for the record......NO, I was not one of the ones fired. I worked there from 1982 until the closing in 2000. 18 years, for those who don't want to do the math !!

Motts: Thank you sooooo much for the update. if you need a copy of the article to substantiate this, please feel free to let me know. your rapid response in this matter is truely appriciated. I will look forward in the future to reviewing more of your works !!

Motts, you need to come The"great" Pacific Northwest, we have more skeletons in our closets than anywhere, just watch The Killing on AMC.

I am a previous military soldier in Germany. I have been watching our old bases being destroyed. Majority of these bases have been functioning before WW1. I hope you can go to Germany and take photos of the old bases before they are all destroyed.
I just found out the Berchesgaden hotels the US used after WWII has been destroyed. There was a lot of historical significance to the buildings during WWII and throught current times.
The structures and the signias on the buildings was fascinating. There is also items scratched out on the buildings due to the WWII removal of all Hitler related items.
