I know they have a barber (shop) area, this could of been it. Just how the pillar of red and white go down in the old days, they had those activated (not sure what their called) outside their shops going down in a circle.. if you know what I'm talking about.
It was never sold, and I go past it regularly. Everytime I see it my heart sinks. It is a breathtaking building. There has to be something that could be done to save it. I really think we should try to gather support to renovate it. They want condos? Why can't this beautiful piece of architechture serve as condos? Why must it be ripped down and replaced? If the building was renovated, the apartments would sell for more, anyway. SO what does eveyone think?
The morgue was in the building behind the main building off of payson rd. It is in the basement and was accross from the theater building. The old fridge that is pictured was broken long before FSH closed so they added a new 2 drawer model. The first year that the Foxboro Jaycess did the haunted house we tried to move the newer unit to use it. We were not able to get the right equipment so it stayed where it was. This part of the hospital was being used until 1991 so most "Kids" stayed out of it as they did not want to get caught.
Fire was contained to one building. Most of the rest of the buildings are gutted already and will be apartments and condos. The new building in question "The Dexter Building" was demolished and is now an empty lot. The 2 buildings accross from it were a matched pair of buildings. They were employee housing one male and one female. The opened a childrens museum in one of them years ago. They are now gone as well and will be the new "Public Safety" building for the town. The theater is staying for future use. They have 2 great old 1930's carbon arch projectors in it as well as the original seats in the loft area. I am sure that everything in it will be gone as well.
I lived in Foxboro for most of my life and have been in every building many times for many reasons. My farther worked at FSH when they closed in the 70's. The laundry was in a building that was not attached to the complex. Laundry was in the back lot near the old rail line that brough in coal. It was the building next to the chapel and next to where the Patriots later practiced. This room was an administrator room originally and held not an operating room though. The only operating room in the hospital was in the main building on the top floor.
