Back to my old hometown of Buffalo.  I never got to see this while I was there (never got to that part of town) — but what a treasure it is!  HH Richardson, one of Louis Sullivan’s architectural contemporaries, designed this state insane asylum in 1870, and therefore very likely never foresaw its strong potential as a horror movie set.

You can see oodles of pictures here.  Sadly, the place is falling in, and it’s kind of tough to find a use for such a huge old place, particularly in a state that’s flat broke.
