Murals

Part of the Laundry Building with an ugly archway between rooms. Note that even this building had a nurse’s station with shatterproof windows. Laundry was done by supervised patients as part of their Occupational Therapy and the staff took no chances.

Looking toward the Female Infirmary Ward from the long, glass, Conservatory hallway.

The world’s biggest paper machine was installed here about a century before this photo was taken. The orange in the windows is the brick building across the street–the new part of the plant.

One of the ugly modern staircases.

Near the guard post protecting the launch pad at the Duluth BOMARC is an orange windsock.

Noontime light, long criticized for the boring shadows it grants photographers, comes into its own sometimes.

The now-demolished Industrial Building.

Judging by the bed, this room was used by employees in its later years.

Looking out of a door to nowhere at the fiery sky above.
