RE: Dreemit's World: "Abandoned Insane Asylum"
So neat on many levels! The history, the connections, the pictures, and that some still had a 'jolly time' through it all. :)

It really is a neat place, and I would say that those who came from the almshouses had a jolly time simply because it was worlds better. And by the time my dad worked there it was entirely humane and respectable. But the next post I'm doing on the mass gravesite...that one is creepy. Over fifty thousand people buried there and the only stones are the ones for the veterans. There's not even markers for the rest, they are grassy hills that you would never even know had piles of bodies underneath (and in fact when I was a kid, I didn't know which I will talk about in the post)
Glad he was able to help make it a better place. I look forward to the next post to find out more!
