That is a beautiful Kirkbride... it'll be up there in Heaven, I know it.

Damn shame it had to go... :-\

Sad that this place will be gone forever. Thank you Motts for capturing it for all of us. I can understand why there taking this pace doe for it's a death trap and beyond hope of restoration I do admit that it's truly a sad deal.

The winter shots really bring out the cold, harsh reality of being institutionalized . This Gallery speaks volumes,,,, Thanks so much for one last look.

Motts took some time to go through it all ,but I loved every minute of it. And it did make me tear up,The beauty that man can build and anger that other men can let go to hell without a thought. Thanks again Mr Motts for one of your best gallerys

When we see a beautiful place like this destroyed its easy to lose hope that our own accomplishments will be preserved. Thanks for sharing this incredible gallery.

I could almost cry, knowing there will be no more imagery from this brilliant work of architectural art. Thank you, so very much, Motts, for this incredible gallery by which to remember this staid, gorgeous Kirkbride.

My great grandfather spent the last 40 years of his life here after he returned from Normandy with a serious case of what we now call PTSD. I'm sure that during his time there he spent time in many of the spaces you photographed. Thank you, Motts for preserving this. In a world that wants to forget, you have given us a library to help us remember.

Well Mr. Motts thank you for so many fantastic journeys! I like the kirks the best, they are what led me here. Although I am very fond of those shots you are in...I'll leave it at that. No point in being inappropriate...Considering I'm old enough to be your.....older sister.Tee Hee.

Very sad to see something this gorgeous torn down. If they would have started preventing decay when they first abandoned it, it could have been saved.
