I have only now heard of this buliding but this picture shows amazing depth and as pointed out the lighting is great.
It is a bautiful building

I was at Danvers in 1991 as well, just for a month...May/June. I was transferred from Bridgewater State (relax, I didn't kill anyone).
I received very fair treatment at Danvers, though some patients did not get along well with staff members.

The weirdest damn thing happened though on one of my last nights there. There were not many people staying on the first floor (I beleive it was the first floor, whatever the minimum security floor was...and I was sleeping with just one other person in a room full of beds. I had this nightmare where the ghost of a woman was trying to get into my body. She was incredibly angry and agressive...I would use the words demon, wraith, and banshee to describe her. I struggled to wake up, and when I finally did I was totally freaked out. I shared my experience with the other guy in the room...and as I told the story his face went blank and his mouth dropped open...I asked what was wrong and he said, "The exact same thing happened to me."

I had no idea so many people think that place was haunted, until I did an internet search recently...and based on my own experience there, I am inclined to beleive it.

I can be reached at srk890@aol.com if anyone has any questions or had any first hand experiences of their own at Danvers. If anyone was at Danvers during May/June 1991, I hope you are well and would love to hear from you.

im so going to live here!

No, unfortunately I was not able to get any exteriors that day.

Motts,did you take any photos of the outside?

Those colors pop out at you.

This is a really cool shot.

Soldiers where there allright..In WW1 and WW2!!!!

I believe this was a central administration area, where people other than correction officers would be working (secretaries, etc). The prisoners most likely only passed through on the bottom floor to be admitted and expelled from the cells (behind the far wall).
