Curtained Memories

Some dreary, very sheer curtains at an abandoned village that was designed to house and teach children with intellectual disabilities. It was thought that if they could learn basic skills surrounded by "their own kind" they could be introduced into the outside world and be a contribution to society. Unfortunately, it didn't work out too well since most of the participants were daunted and intimidated by the amount of people that weren't like them and could do their jobs much faster. It closed down in 1996 after being open for 85 years. © 2011-Current.
