Long before the hospital was turned into condo's we found a pile of negs in the admin of the kirkbride, at the time I was dating a girl who was taking a photography class in college and had the teacher develop the prints for us, Every year from 1910 till 1963 the hospital hosted a sort of carnival on the grounds for staff, patients and visitors, these are a set of timeless shots from a 1952 carnival

I just made it a public thread, I always do that with my posts, for some reason last night I must have forgot to
but yeah, these most certainly would have ended up in a dumpster during construction

These are so cool. I'm sure this carnival meant a lot to the patients, who probably didn't find much joy in their surroundings the rest of the year. Thanks for sharing.

Cool find! They look to be in great shape to boot.

Awesome find and a good thing you did take them. Otherwise we would have never known about this event. And considering how old they were, they sure did come out great.

Still sad I never got to see her IRL. At least we have pictures to remind us.
Thank you.

Wow, at the risk of being too repetitive, that is a badass find. Effin awesome, and lucky you ran across them. I was trying to explain to someone how fucking horrible the conditions at one of those places had to be on the patients and I was trying to just find pics of the hospital, but ran across these. Wild.
Samurai ability to enter any establishment...thanks grandpa for all the training. |

Thank you for sharing. This is a slice of history I hadn't known about.
What a grand old place... people don't seem to care much anymore about building things of beauty that are meant to last.
And is that a petting zoo? (Not sure why I find it so bizarre and incongruous.)
