CAMIN SPITALPHOTOGRAPHY BY DONALD RUBIS & IZIDOR RUCKEL 2005-2006
THE CAMIN SPITAL PENTRU COPII WAS A STATE RAN INSTITUTION FOR OVER 40 YEARS THAT I KNOW FOR SURE. IT WAS FINALLY CLOSED DOWN IN 2001 WHEN ALL THE CHILDREN WERE MOVED FROM ORPHANAGES INTO FOSTER CARE OR GROUP HOMES. THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AFTER THE ORPHANAGE WAS SHUT DOWN. AS MUCH AS I WANTED TO GO INSIDE EACH FLOOR TO CAPTURE SOME PICTURES ALL THE ENTRANCE OF EACH FLOOR HAD LOCKS ON THEM
CENTRAL OF PLACEMENT WITH MINOR HANDICAP
IS WHAT THE SIGN SAYS
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SIGN
THE ENTRANCE INTO THE CAMIN SPITAL PENRTU COPII
A CLOSER VIEW OF THE ENTRANCE
BEFORE THE SEVEN ANGELES STARTED WORKING FOR THE
CAMIN SPITAL, THIS WAS TH SIDE OF THE BUILDING I HAD LIVED
ON THE TOP FLOOR. THE FIRST BOTTOM WINDOWS YOU SEE IS THE KITCHEN
THE SMALL WINDOWS THAT YOU SEE IN THE CENTER ARE
ACTUALLY BATHROOM WINDOWS.
WHEN THE SEVEN ANGELES COME WORKING FOR US I HAD BEEN
MOVED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING ON THE THIRD FLOOR
BARS TO PREVENT CHILDREN FROM FALLING OUT.
THIS WAS ALSO OUR FAMOUS PLACE TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW
WHEN ANY THING INTERESTING HAPPENED.
A SHOT FROM THE BACK BUILDING
THE CAMIN SPITAL BUILDING IT SELF IS OVER 40 YEARS OLD
STAFFS OR INCOMING GUEST WOULD USE THIS FRONT ENTRANCE
WHEN WE (THE KIDS) WERE TAKEN OUTSIDE TO PLAY THIS IS
THE BACK DOOR WE WENT IN AND OUT OF.
THE ENTRANCE INTO THE ORPHANAGE BUILDING
OF COURSE WE HAD A GUARD ON DUTY MAKING SURE
THAT NO TRUST PASSERS ENTERED THE ORPHANAGE
THE PLAY GROUND CREATED BY THE DUTCH AND THE GERMANS
THE ENTRANCE ON TO THE THIRD FLOOR (MY FLOOR)
STAIRS
OFFICES OF DIRECTOR AND NURSES
DONATIONS LEFT OVER AFTER THE ORPHANAGE WAS SHUT DOWN
MORE DONATIONS, NOW YOU WONDER WHERE THEY WENT
OLD BEDS THAT LOOK LIKE PRISON BEDS
MORE BEDS AND THE WOOD ONE WAS DONATED BY THE DUTCH
LOCKERS FOR THE STAFFS WHICH WAS NEVER EVEN USED
UNTIL AFTER 1990 WHEN THE NEW STAFFS WERE HIRED
THE ELEVATOR THAT YOU SEE IN THE BACK WAS NEVER USED OR WORKED
THIS IS THE FORTH FLOOR HALLWAY ENTRANCE
WHERE THE 18 YEAR OLDS STAYED AT
ENTRANCE OF THE THIRD FLOOR
WHERE I HAD LIVED UNTIL I LEFT FOR AMERICA IN 1991
THIS IS WHERE MANY OF OUR LIVES CHANGED FOR THE BETTER
WHEN WE HAD THE SEVEN ANGELES WORK ON THAT FLOOR WITH US.
