Boiler blowdown pit.

Just about every door at Eastern State Penn had doors like that. They were so heavy and massive, the wheels were a good alternative to hinges

My Grandad worked in here untill it closed doing all the boilers

I just visited this place during a Berlin-vacation the past week. Still looks the same, and walking around taking photos was great for a beginner urban explorer like myself.

I was a staff member at the Metropolitan State Hospital from 1952 up intill 1969 and I have to say that some of the treatment of patents by the staff was absolutely outragous. You would see patents being physically and mentally abused quite frequently including the younger pre-teen patents that I knew of who passed through the childrens ward. The staff was quite merciless and cruel toward patents and I will never forget the 16 tough years that I spent here and I will never forgive the horrible staff.

haha, my bad :]

I found this interesting because when i searched for Massachusetts mental health center's i got nothing on Thompson Mental Hopsital. My mother used to work near 'Lemuel Shattuck Hospital' in Boston. She had a patient who ripped her eyes out while she was in seclusion...
