The Staff House
Of all of the buildings, the staff house was the one that I was the most anxious to tour as we walked the grounds. We were told that it didn't house anything interesting. I beg to differ...
I can't even begin to tell you how creepy this building was... I got more bad vibes here than anywhere else on the tour. I haven't been able to find any information on it or other pictures of it.
There were huge drainage grates in the middle of each of the three floors, suggesting that this building was also hosed down. But it was the STAFF house. Why would they need to hose it down?
There was a gated and wired section that led to the attic. Surely patients wouldn’t have been in this building—why was the attic the equivalent of a large cage?
Each window in the attic had a chair in front of it, looking out. What purpose did this serve? Since the windows faced the back of the property, I’m guessing that looking out to monitor the asylum wasn't the plan.
