My grandfather Brad Brush was a steam engineer at this plant. They generated steam that was delivered by pipes to numerous buildings where it was used to make hot water, heat and cool buildings & etc. I remember going there one day with him and looking into the firebox of one of the main boilers (we used a mask with a thick glass viewport). One time he let me put coal into the firebox. The trains used to run over the top of the building and dump into hoppers in the roof. Inside the work area a trolley of sorts would be driven by electric motor to the appropriate firebox and a button would be pushed which would cause coal to travel down a chute and into the furnace. I remember the burnt coal piles and how it looked like black foamy glass and the tinkling noise it made when tossed on the pile. He eventually left there and became the Stationary Steam Engineer for the 'new' hospital that was built a few miles away.

No way water can be in the radiators..heating system had to be shut down before vacany. But do you know that those old radiators are worth at least $10 per coil? I can see about 25 in this pic

I don't ever remember being in an elevator as big as this!!!

I know where you could quickly find a chucklehead without much work . . .

to bad its impossible to get in there now, all the windows on the first floor are welded shut and the tunnels are bricked shut.

thats a CO2 extinguisher

I just drove by the place the other day and was disappointed to see half of it gone. What a shame.

The place had to be demo'ed it was a dangerous derelict. It did however deserve a great deal more care than what went into it. It didn't need to be done on the cheap.

One Time, as a MA resident, I have to say, YOU suck. ;)

But seriously, MA is not responsible for demolishing Danvers. Pointing the blame at the state for letting go of the buildings doesn't solve the problem.
