MAN, WHAT HAPPEND HERE IS NOT ANYTHING NEW. ELEGANT BUILDINGS JUST LIKE THIS ONE ARE JUST RUIND WITH STUPID, RETARDED ARCHITECTS WHO THINK COVERING UP SOMEONE ELSES BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THIS IS ONE REASON WHY I WANT TO BECOME AN ARCHITECT, SO I CAN CREATE STUNNING STRUCTURES LIKE THIS ONE USED TO BE AND RESTORE OLD BUILDINGS EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE TO HOW THAT ARTIST/ ARCHITECT WANTED HIS PIECE OF ART TO LOOK LIKE. SORRY I GET REALLY FIRED UP WITH IMAGES LIKE THIS ONE! 8D

What an exceptional landscape!

Kind of foreboding, isn't it? One fortress preceding another fortress?

It is amazing how impressive you make this castle appear even in its state of disrepair and ruin.

Terra, I'm with you. I have always known about Danvers, but hadn't realized till I found this site late last night that it had been bought and ruined. I was up till 4am looking at these pictures and feeling like someone had kicked me in the stomach. How incredibly sad that they are gone.

If anyone is still on here, can you tell me the state of affairs as of Sept 2006? Has anyone got any pictures of what they left? I get the feeling it isn't much, just a shell of the main building, someone said.

It makes me sick...this was acres and acres of untouched history - medical and cultural and architectural. "Avalon Bay" (what a pretentious name) should be ashamed. I hope the condos are haunted as hell!!

I can't think of a thing to say that someone hasn't already said. It makes my heart ache to see what's been done to that beautiful room and to hell with cost-efficiency!

When I worked @ HUP (Hospital University of Pennsylvania) there were (and still are) this huge revolving door at the main entrance. You didnt turn the doors, they automatically turn in big slow circles - for wheelchair patients and elderly patients - I never used it, because it took forever to turn. But its beautiful, its all glass and can fit about 20 people on each side of its revolving insides.
