This is an awesome shot & such emotion in it. With the pose in this, she is knows she is a fallen angel & has been forever cast out of her home. The scratches behind her on the wall, to me, could be her reaching for Heaven & no longer able to get back there.

Motts, you & Candace did a wonderful job with this entire gallery.

Motts, wonderful job. The photos are fascinating and speak for themselves. The building that these notes and photos were in, has it been demolished? Was there any name in the notes that you recall? It's clearly blood in the photograph. I know this is a long shot but, Has it crossed anyone's mind that the person in the photo could be male?

The photo and the notes have me obsessed. I am so determined to find out who the woman in the photo was and what the outcome was of the woman described in the notes.

collection cases from 1999 probably wouldn't have any educational value. also, hospitals, companies, and governmental agencies are required to retain records for certain periods, varying depending on the type of document. documents are destroyed to protect the company, hospital, agency, not the patient. the "destroy date" is the date that the files must be kept for, not the date they must be destroyed." In revisiting this wonderful site after years have passed, and reading comments since my last visit, I look at the picture again and see what Scott and other's wrote, these probably are just billing records and such that don't reveal any medical details. Any place that essentially quit majorly serving the mental health community before 2000 didn't either have to deal with HIIPA or didn't have the ability to deal with decades of forgotten records if anything medical related was left. I still maintain the records would be interesting to read for a historical account as so many people's lives were destroyed and forgotten undeservedly.

They couldn't pull down the picture to use as a weapon so they used the mantle instead??....

Wow, what an awesome shot this is & the bright green glow is really neat. Motts, this really needs to be a wallpaper, please?

I was on Ward D from 1970-1973. My parents didn't have a say in the medication regimen I was on, nor could they take me out. I was civilly committed under the new law (at the time) M.G.L. Chapter 123.

I'll take this room, please.

It looks like they are awaiting patients, that will never come. The cribs are still in great shape, despite the decay all around them.

Absolutely Stunning. I wish you had this available as a wallpaper!

Looks good for a movie scene... sort of speak.

The Wing of the hospital had been demolished as if of 2010-2011.
They should have constructed a Museum or a Historical Landmark for the community.
