Former Children's Museum

I made a few visits to Art-O-Matic this year, and the experience was good, but the best part for me was getting to see so much of the old building. The old building was most recently the Children's Museum (relocated to L'Enfant Plaza), but it has a bit of history before that. The site is now owned by ABDO, and they plan to turn it into luxury condos. So, this was essentially the last chance to see the interior in its full institutional glory. Seeing the old tiles and former shower rooms I was reminded of photos I'd seen online of some of the old Kirkbride Hospitals. One of these hospitals, Danvers State, was the location used for the filming of Session 9. Pretty neat stuff.
