@Boiler 1220-That's really great that you were able to take a lot of pics! Do you know what the city is going to do with the building?

Nice shot.

That sort of looks like my old truck! I also had an old GMC Jimmy truck too! I refuse to call them SUV's! ; ) My dad loves trucks! He used to drive 18 wheelers-how he got those enormous trucks inside the small bays of old buildings is a mystery to me.

@jennylw-great thought! I also wonder what happened to all the patients that lived in these buildings, especially the ones who were at the old Kirkbride at Danvers State. I heard that some of them are living in the streets. It was a shame that they closed the only home that some of these people knew.

It's amazing, after all that time, that the top-heavy tower is still standing straight. Such quality construction.

@Meg-It's a small world! I also worked at that same summer camp for Mentally Retarded children and adults behind Worcester State Hospital, but at another time, years later. It was called Camp Joy. I did a lot of music with the clients. I even composed a song that whole camp sang as a tribute to Carl Gordon, its benefactor. I can still recall everyone singing, "Carl Gordon, we thank you!" He appreciated the song, and had tears in his eyes. It was a fun summer job as a student. Also, I have always loved the architecture of WSH. Too bad most of it is gone.

Ah, yet another vintage, analog machine of the past! I love the old fashioned, "Luddite" ways! : )

You wonder what the patients' thoughts were as they gazed out of these caged windows day after day.
