One of Three Thousand
Warm spring sun throws rays across a patient bed in a dayroom at a village style asylum in Connecticut.
At its peak this asylum had more than 100 buildings sprawling across over 900 acres serving more than 3,000 patients thus the name “One of Three Thousand”.

It’s amazing to find any building with furnishings still inside after being closed for so long! What an impressive image! This is a very haunting image! Think of the poor souls in that place

This is an awesome image Polarity!! I absolutely love the lighting shining in through the window. Very interesting image as well. We don’t have any old buildings like this where I live, it is such a shame, as it makes very good subject matter.
