I don't know of any plans for this building... it was abandoned sometime in the 1970s.

I once heard that if the building falls in on itself, there might be a way to circumvent the laws regarding abatement and other (expensive) EPA protocols, as the structure would be too dangerous to work on... not sure if it is true though.

I believe the McLean Asylum in Somerville MA was the first dedicated psychiatric institution in the United States, founded in 1811. The old asylum at Worcester was built in 1833, and the abandoned state hospital that stands there today was built in the 1870s. The asylum in Utica NY was the first state-built psychiatric hospital in 1843.

I climb a bit to get into some places, but there are usually stairs to the roofs so they can be maintained easily.
