MOTTS I hope you had fun on youre trip to Europe hope you can tell us all about it and i cant wait to see the new pictures.
Also what are the pictures on the walls in this hallway?
Absolutely amazing. These types of things should be swooped up by the local historical society and not packed up in some Joe Shmo's basement. Wonderful find Motts! Hopefully these pieces of history will find a proper home for all to see.
Motts if you took all the lightfixtures from all the places you went to and sold them you would be a millionare or you could just publish a book lol...
If its on the wall in a bathroom its a soap dispener, papertowel dispenser, or a hand drieing thing, not a light fixture. Can you immagine accidentaly geting water in it...ZAP
I can't help but cry at this last photo. I don't want to leave this gallery. Mr. Motts, your photos have been the most moving pictures I have ever seen. This building will always haunt me, as well as the morons who decided to tear it down for some cheap meaningless condos and partments. How engrossing!?! I loved reading the comments to the photos as well... I love how it felt like being in a room with people and listening to a discussion. The more I looked on, the more alive it became. It might sound sort of strange, and maybe I am just a dramatic person about this... but I feel like part of me is with Danvers... and with every hospital that faces any portion of demolition. In my perspective of the issue, I think now a days people are pathetic... they could just want to tear down anything with a narrow minded thought, and pave over all the land around us simply for the generation of profit and money. It truly disgusts me.... How disrepectful and cheap people can be. They see no value in anything... unless it has a price tag on it or is personal to them in some way.
I would love to have a box of rubble or dirt from inside these walls. Even though it is not mine to have, nor is the ground this building stands on is any builders to reshape... It's just to me, that this building owned itself. The life inside of it, yes life... was living here. It was thriving in all the hearts of those who encountered or set eyes on it. It may sound like some kooky stuff, but tearing down monuments like this is outright slaughter... to the spirit/s that live here, and to part of humanity in many people.
