That spiral staircase is gorgeous ☺
The wheelchair is an eye catcher as well.

Thanks for the read. It's sad how many asylums have been demolished,there is always a way to preserve these kinds of places or at least make use of them through renovation. Here's a site that preserves info about mental hospitals: http://asylumproje...ndex.php/Main_Page

I was back at the "spiral staircase state hospital" earlier this year and they were converting that building into condos. Don't know if they were going to keep the staircase or not.



Everyone has a dark side, mines just a little more illuminated.

I've seen photos of the staircase recently and it's all restored, it's super cool.

Totally get where you're coming from when you say that. I'm always looking at all the awesome pics everyone posts and thinking 'damn I'd like to do that'. But personally, I find that mindset super limiting to me, because it stops me from appreciating what I have around me. Just a thought.
