I agree, very interesting image created by the (gun?) shot!

This picture is conveying a cold, desolated feel to me.

Excellent picture! The two pictures really made me feel like I've step back into time.

Hi, Irish, if you don't mind my volunteering an answer... By the looks of the nurses' uniforms, I would say it looks, to me, to be between 1890 and 1910.

I absolutely love these two pictures!

For when you've gotta go, on the go! :)

Although most people believe this was the worst place and how people were treated very bad, I visited my mother there often-and when it shut down and threw everyone out-Take a stroll downtown Norwich -look in the alleys-look toward the dumpsters-under the bridge-you wiil find patients of the NSH, alone and suffering more than you can imagine.

Yeah it's sad that they will remve most but as an old state guard.....hint they are saying that some blds will stay. The blds are amazing and unique part of our past..thanks for the pics I never could take

Good eyes Renee. I think it is open.

larry i also agree don't worry about what people say. it sounds like this guys has issues himself. maybe he has never delt with mental illness with in his family. you have my sentiments.

Be careful walking through all of this grass I caught a sever case of poisin Ivy it was horrible.

I wish that I could be there with you as you take these photos everytime I go to this place I use up so many memory cards taking pictures just of the outsides i never went inside.

It is such a shame that these buildings went to waste and are just standing around decaying

those tiles are definetly from around the early 1900's because my grandparents house was built in 1910 and the have those tiles in all three of the bathrooms.

wow everything is so over grown does the town have anyone come out and mow the grass

could you imagine actually getting stuck in there and never being found Omg that would be horrible

creepy

YAY! Great pics
