it almost looks like their is a face in one of the windows...

Took a drive-by over the weekend and checked it out. Creepier then ever. Looking at the architecture which is incredible, I am really hoping these magnificent buildings get saved when the new hospital is built. Because of the fire back in the 1990s, a portion of a wing or two of the Kirkbride is gone, but the rest was saved. Driving by the newer building gave me the creeps too. It does not look very well cared for. There is a nice new gazebo out front for the patients to sit, that was the object that I seen that gave a bit of comfort to the patients.

this has to be one of my favorite photos from all of the galleries i have seen so far, bloody brilliant

WARNING TO INDIVIDUALS WHO TRESPASS ON THESE PREMISES. ANYONE CAUGHT IN OR ON THE PROPERTY OF THIS BUILDING WILL BE ARRESTED. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CALLS TO POLICE BY HANSON RESIDENTS IN RECENT DAYS AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL NOT TOLERATE ANYONE WHO DECIDES TO TRESPASS ON THIS PROPERTY. - E.M SMITH SARG.

It looks kind of creepy

I never saw sinks like those before. Very interesting.

Lordy, I'd feel real comfortable taking a leak in such a creative enviorment. It's got the right pastel tiles and the doors that just reek of no privicy.

I have always been interested in Danvers state Hospital. My father as a little girl use to threaten me he would drop me off if I wasn't good. The mental patients (some) could sit outside and watch the cars go bye. I always watched for them and wanted to visit that place even now. I would like to know of the cases and why they were there. I search for cases and never rest in my mind about that place. Jackie

Thanks; no I'm usually scraping together money to travel like this.

Gotta love the IR. Motts are you independantly wealthy? Because I would love to be able to travel and take pictures like this. Good show!

yo kid this shits fucked up dude..
lol my mom ceriously went there b4 before it was abandoned cuz shes cyco.no lie

yo this shit is crazy would eny of you sleep in that shit

I love this pic. Its too bad that I went there after it had been further vandalized, by friends of friends who do that stuff :(. The hospital has an interesting past, that I know, but I've failed to find any online references that go beyond statistics and opinions. Time is running short for me (deadlines and such), but if people have info... let me know.

(Also, what happened with the guys who was arrested for trying to start a fire there? and what of the "copper mining"... as it was referred to by some of my friends... the stealing of the copper piping in the tunnels for sale? any word on who was doing that? I've been so sheltered lately and haven't heard anything)

Yes i said "hugely". Not great for someone who's hoping for a free ride to college. Lets try "overwhelmingly". and it "put*** a smile on my face" not "but".
I hate trying to sound educated then screwing up, but hey, I'm still a teen, what do you expect?

Wow. Ok so, its been over a year and people still question, even when the matter has been pretty much resolved? haha. NOT for cremation. PROBABLY not for chickens. Only because of the building its located in.
Remember that it was a hospital, not a prison, or a hugely dark place. Tthere were other things that went on (such as the cleaning). Not everything is about death (although yes, I know it all leads to it). I'm surprised no one mentioned the baseball field and how this could have been storage for bats, balls, gloves, and uniforms. (just KIDDING. I'm mocking others, not being serious)

But really, this was an interesting conversation to read. And it but a smile on my face while trying to find info on a paper thats necessary to complete to finish the International Baccalaureate Program. (wish me luck)
