the tubs might not be painted they might be copper

My mom spent all of my childhood at Pilgrim. I vividly remember the weekend trips to visit her when she was finally allowed visitors...barred windows, screaming half-clothed women and pretty much utter degradation.

a bunch of my friends and i just went ther yesterday... its pretty wierd. we got into bld 93 . it took a while. there is wierd crap everywhere. it was daytime and we walked through only 3 rooms b4 we tunmr back due to darkness...are there really alarms that can be tripped throughout the buildings??

Beautiful picture!

I can't find the picture either. Please post a link or something.

Notes are written on the machine by maintenance employees. The RS means right side for reassembly when machine is apart. Looks like a shaft mounted exciter by which the main generator gets its DC. The steam turbine that drives the main generator spins this also eliminating the need for two mg sets.

Actually this stuff is still being used at the Umass Amherst College. And it still causes irritation to skin and lungs and just overall reaks.

honestly, does anyone know for sure whether there are alarms or anything like that. I reached the area with the 2 holes and saw instructions on the wall. I couldnt really read them and i have heard talk about alarms so i turned back. Were they once there and gone now?

Worked there for 15 years-quite a place!!

Judging from the decomposition(I don't really know the location, but it seems like a fairly closed-off room) it was probably dead for at least 10-15 years. This probably means it was dead prior to the closing of the hospital...which is fairly sick.

Did you read any of them Motts? Did they say anything interesting?

I think that 'image' is actually something mounted or leaning on the wall in the room through that door, and you're just barely seeing it through the window panel.

Though I'm not so unwhimsical as to discount the possibility that it's the ghost of a cowboy or something...

I think that's the coolest natural gradient I've ever seen.

From dilapidation springs life...great shot.
