Look at that industrial sized soap dispenser on the back wall, cool!

Love the mirror

Just have to say thank you for capturing Norwich State forever before it is only a memory. I had always wanted to go but never had the chance. I dribe by it on a weekly basis and seeing it slowly disappear is heartbreaking. You are keeping it alive :-) major kudos

How 1940's looking! I want one!

I could use one of those to make iced tea in

I agree with Ferdy, reminds me of a toy room at a hospital I went to as a kid. (Regular hospital. not Psychiatric)

Is that faded writing on the wall? The question mark is odd too.

How did she hold up against Sandy? and any new news about her?

so sad, so much history, such beauty, just fallen to ruin..

People claiming this building is haunted are merely being superstitious. The only thing haunting about this building, is its more recent past with banks and owners that lead to its deterioration... and trust me that is disturbing enough.

The building is beyond repair, it still stands from what I can tell from googlemaps, it will either be demolished or left to continue to rot. The only hope for preserving the memory of this building is the stonework, and a modernized replica built ontop of it ( still unlikely though *sigh* ). I say modernized because the building doesn't fall into legal building codes, it is/was a fire trap ( as many old buildings are )

Entering the Buildings: Do not do it, the building of particularly interest "Halcyon Hall" is on the verge of complete collapse, every floor is a danger, good portions of roofing is missing, severe water/winter and wind damage has left this place an easy deathtrap. DO NOT ENTER IT. The Dorms building next to it also appears to be split down the middle, which indicates that the foundation has been compromised.

If you do enter these buildings, you are putting your life and other people's lives at risk, as well as the rescuers who may have to save you.

With that said, I wish I could of entered it at least once in my life, I wish I could of saved her. I wish I could save her now. ~Celeste

it should be known that the theater and dance hall were rented by the Carwiles who turned it into a dinner theater called "A Country Theater". I was 19 years old in 1979 and was employed as the "House Manager". It lasted about 9 months and closed. It's really sad to see everything in this condition. i actually lived on the premises and it was incredibly beautiful!

Dorothy's house right before she left

I worked there from 1972-83...it was like working in it's own little city. Many fond memories. Anyone wanting to be in touch...cvanvleet@hotmail.com

Looks like nazi germany jewish camps bathroom

It's so, so sick to see that helpless children and grown children,(but still mentally children) and some very normal people were abused so badly. Unfortunately , abuse, nasty talk, spankings, yelling, silent abuse, neglect, ignoring, no empathy.it goes on everyday in some form all around us. People choose to ignore it. Please pray for the children and volunteer at group homes if given the chance. Speak up about abuse...
