Kirkbride Buildings

I somehow found this website about the beautiful Insane Asylums based on Dr. Kirkbride's direction. These fortresses are still part of many US cities and towns. They are so amazing and gorgeous. Just part of America's forgotten architecture.

Those are all so pretty! I hope they're being used for something now--hotels, maybe?! It seems like you see places like that on old movies a lot.

And I would really love to comission you to sew me a red slipcover for my chair. It needs it reeeeeally bad. And I have some economic stimulust check money just a-sittin' around. If you want it, give me a call :). I just typed my #, then deleted it. Better email me and i'll give it to you!!! The telemarketers might be reading :)!

Hey, The Hudson River building in Poughkeepsie, NY is near where I live now. Kindof cool. I would have never known what that was otherwise. Cheers, Marianne
