Looking for pictures

[China_cat]

Of some old PA institutions. Good Shepherd home when it was on Lowrie St, Troy Hill, Pgh. Sunnyside in Girard, PA. Sleighton Farm near Philly.

So far, the only ones I've been able to find have been of Sleighton Farm long after it closed down and falling into disrepair.

Can anybody help?

I assume you saw these pics.

When we were randy little teenage boys, that place conjured up dreams of loose girls and illicit behavior.

2. Yes, I've seen those

and even gotten a few of the place when it was in operation. I'd like to have more, though.

I did 13 months there. We weren't allowed to have cameras.

Hate to burst your bubble but the majority of girls were there for things that today would have their parents facing court time...running away from abuse, incest. Other 'crimes' were habitually skipping school, mouthing off to adults or even being sent there by parents who just didn't want to even try to be anything more than dictators.

Those put away for being sexually active were sent to more secure facilities.
