Wow, great find with those pictures! At first when I saw all the links I thought V-idiot Poker might have struck again lol! But then I noticed they weren't in that dumb coding format, and that the links were actually usefull! LOL

LOL Lynne, of course I do ; ) The reason that the comment came to mind is because (and I rarely share this) I suffer from anxiety, which I have pretty much controlled by medication, but when I'm in its darkest throes, I myself have actually clutched my bedposts in fear (this being in my room, surrounded by the same things I have known for a significant number of years now. I guess what scares me is, back in the day, I have a feeling I certainly could have been in one of these places. It's just scary because even having your own mother with you can't always make things feel better. That's what I was thinking of, certainly not because they were being mistreated. *falls off backward off of soapbox* *whoops* :0)

I can understand that they could have clenched the bedposts in fear...not because they were mistreated or anything, but afflictions of the mental kind can be quite scary even if you are in cheery rainbow land. I know that I would be scared no matter what because I would be away from my family and may not understand what is going on, even if I were being treated like a Queen. Don't worry dear Lynne, that's probably what they meant ; )

Wow, thanks for the nice gallery. And it makes me ill that corporations want to tear down such beautiful structures. Clearly at least part of this building (the administration) could be re-used, rather than torn down. It would make a lovely bank! Of course, I like the state its in now, but I'd rather it be reused than torn down. I'm just absolutely sick over Danvers and Dixmont. These people make me want to puke.

Wow, nice! I love those old medicine bottles. Found one once while triapsing through the woods looking for remnants of this old school that had once been there..

Very cool shot.

You're right, Pb, it really does...

Oh Lynne, we need you! Why would they have mesh doors like this? I mean, I see some benefit to it but I have to admit it seems archaic.

Well, I guess that's where I'd put my bed...

Very neat shot will all the moss.

Wow, that fireplace is magnificent! And thanks for the translation Bri, I've completely forgotten my Latin : / ...all I remember is the conjugation of "silva" or forest...silva, silvae, silvae, silva, silvum, silvis, silvorum....etc....err something like that. I also remember puella, "girl" or something like that. :P

Wow, those staircases are absolutely gorgeous. When did this place close? It looks immaculate...perhaps due to the booby traps, but nonetheless...

Oooh nice shot!

And yay! New gallery! *does Snoopy dances*

Oh so we took the curtains, eh? Oh ho ho I'm laughing so hard I just can't stop! AHahaha..hah..

*GROWLS*

deafangel, those are exactly my sentiments. Not only is Danvers an incredibly historic structure, it is in fact sitting upon incredibly historic ground. People really need to use their common sense more and realize that we are losing everything that holds more than a fleeting thought. It wouldn't surprise me if I soon start to hear about plans for condos opening up inside the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower.

Bravo! Nicely said Brad.

Happy Birthday to the Ed's (although this is a bit late) and Happy Holidays to everyone!!!! : )

I remember seeing a college scholarship for having the best duct tape prom outfits...hmmm. Didn't know that was still a big thing. I reckon we would have been shot if we came to our dances wearing ducktape gowns. No, it was more of who's got the most expensive designer gown? : /
