Memories from here are starting to fade. I remember we would always do it pre-dawn but now that I think back, it could have really been done mid day no problem. I really don't thin i had been since we went in 2012 or something. @Kirkwich Nice set!

Yeah, definitely true, I had always heard stories about state police actually inside the building waiting, we pre dawned it in 2010 and were def sketched out by the lights being on in admin, but never had any problems whatsoever...
These are beautiful shots, every one, will be missed....

Yea other than the occasional cop parked outside I never had a problem but always pre dawned also. Even though maybe it didn't have to be I still preferred it because sunrise was always so pretty. And thanks!!

The first two times I went I had no idea about anything regarding the police. Got dropped off on the road behind it around noon and strolled right in. The first time my buddy actually had to rip a board off behind the kitchen because it was only a year or so after it had fully closed and we didn't even think to look for another way. I was only 15 or 16 at the time and had really only done Overbrook and the Hilltop Care Center (if anyone remembers that dump). I really wish I spent more time here before abatement started. It was so close.
Anyway, this really is an incredible set. Lots of fantastic images here. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing these.

This is a phenomenal set of photos. It's cool that people still use film (I don't know if a lot of people here do, but it's cool regardless.) What's good with the rainbow colored chairs though? You set that up yourself, or was it already like that? Great image either way.

I always get jealous when people post beds that look comfortable. Awesome set, my favorites are 7, 9, and 21.
