Incredible, just in-freakin'-credible!!

The place seems to be in excellent shape.

Kadee is right. I've never seen balusters like that. The detail, design and craftmanship are outstanding!

The filtering makes the foliage look fake. Incredible effect.

The ventilation turret on top reminds me of Danvers.

Glad you're back Motts. Don't know what the others are alluding to regarding "serious stuff", but I hope all is well.

The tints used in this gallery, (blue, aqua, red) really evoke different emotions of each shot. Your photography is unparalleled.

Very beautiful doors. Probably one-of-a-kind.

Just imagine the sound reverberating off of the stone walls. It must have been spine-tingling.

Stunning shot Motts. Very gothic!

rectal cranial inversion!!! That's brilliant!

Not that it matters now, but Dixmont WAS designated a National Historic Landmark. If you look on the Dixmont Hospital site, there is a photo of the front of Reed Hall showing the plaque. The owner of the property was able to have it removed from the list due to the damage the building had suffered. I will miss it as much as anyone, (having visited there several times while it was still active), but maybe she needed to be finally put to rest. The indignity she suffered was criminal.

Could this have been a large, round fireplace? Seen them in hotels, resorts, etc.

Puts me in mind of the movie "Jacob's Ladder".

Fan-freakin'-tastic!
