Description
Pennhurst State School and Hospital, originally known as the Eastern Pennsylvania State Institution for the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic is positioned on the border between Chester County and Montgomery County in Pennsylvania. Pennhurst was an institution for the mentally and physically disabled individuals of Southeastern Pennsylvania. After a decade of controversy, it closed on December 9, 1987.
While exploring the Devon building I found this room with the floor covered in water. The partitions were reflected on the water making me think of what the walls would say about the things that occurred on this site.
