those skylights or whatever they are look like angry eyes

someone forgot to take out the trash

What's that near the word "blouse?"

you said it, brother! Bush is an idiot!

what's that in the middle of the tub? it looks like a 50 year old shampoo bottle

This gives me an optical illusion, but the picture is awesome!

The black and white and the light spot on the door makes me feel like I'm watching a scary movie.

Iused to live in taunton and me and my friends used to go here to drink and get high. bealive it or not there is still one functioning building there. and if you ever go in any of them tunnels there about 100 degrees because they still use steam to heat a few of the buildings..

Very disturbing trip down memory lane for me. I worked there from 1972-1974 but never went back once I left the place. Stil remember patients names and faces even now after all these years.
Thanks for bringing back memories and pictures are fantastic I remember many of the rooms!

this reminds me of the old group one that use to be at kings park

whats the deal behind pilgrim? Did some of the parts close down because of labodemies going on or just ended up getting abandoned?

I walk grounds almost every day. Just last week I came across a lunchtime soccer match there. It is a great peaceful place for a lunchtime walk.

The reason they took "ALL" the hinges is because they were brass hinges. Brass, like copper has a decent resale value. I was looking at another site where they smashed walls to get at the copper and noticed they smashed through marble sheets to get the copper. they probably got $5 worth of copper but the sheet of marble would have brought them $500

Lynne, I am in awe of you. I have a second-hand knowledge of the medical profession through my now deceased mother. She spent her life as an RN helping those who needed it. The most part of her career was at a VA hospital tending to people who served our country. Upon my many visits to her job I saw things that were (from my perspective) disturbing. Restraints come to mind immediately. People who have mental disabilities (as was explained to me by my mother) are far more likely to hurt themselves or other patients/ staff than be hurt intentionally by the staff.
We cannot assume that all human beings are inherently evil or harbor ill-intent by glancing at a photo. As for myself, I find it absurd that a window would be installed just for the sole purpose of voyeurism.
Lynne, I would consider it an honor to hear from you. (goldenj@bossiercity.org)
