My mother worked at Worcester State for years. My sister and I would ride our bikes to see our mom. Sometimes she would be on the grounds with the patients. (They always used to give her the most violent patients) but they would be kittens in her hands, my mom was a sweet, beautiful soul and these patients responded to that. This looks like one of the rooms for hanging out if you weren't to far gone and did not need to be strapped down. My sister and I used to hang out at the State Hospital with the patients and we toured the underground tunnels. I don't see any photos of the tunnel rooms. It may be old and beautiful but many people suffered here and were murdered by staff.
