I see shoe prints.

The nicest thing in this photo is that door knob.

I've been waiting for another gallery and here it is.

CN is conventional teargas. Chloracetophenone (also called Phenacyl chloride or 2-chloro-1-phenylethanone) (chemical formula: C8H7ClO), more commonly known as “mace.”

I think its a combination of things N. They probably did not prep the metal properly before painting. That ensures having to redo it every couple years because it starts peeling.
The rust is I think a roof leak as rust may never sleep but it reaches a point where it slows down so much you won't notice a change for many years. For it to accumulate as it has here water has had to flow and soak into then carry away the surface coating on the rust to keep it going.

I'm amazed at how clean it actually looks. Almost like it was just put there...almost.

A disgruntled employee, a family member of a former patient? Only the Shadow knows!!

This makes me a little sad too :( Poor little guy/girl.

These don't touch my heart the way many of the other places do. Not exactly a place for poor souls and/or memories is it? These give me a creepy and, somewhat, scary feeling.

Have no clue about that door. wow! The Bionic Man O-O ...But, looking at the far left it appears someone sawed through the bars in several locations.

Does anyone know how to reach Matt Staller? My grandfather was Josef Staller (Schratzenstaller). My uncle was Joe Staller mentioned above. Both worked at the same tool and die shop. Josef's brother was Leonard Staller. Did Active do any work during WW2? I am trying to piece together some history since I know Josef did tool and die work for the black widow fighter.

Hair cuts and snakes! My favorite!

ohhhhh...know it is an abandoned + old prison
- but have nevertheless not seen the inside of prisons much......
It all reminds me of stables - or a very old poor zoological garden

N,
You'll notice there are round seats attached to a swivel arm on each leg or the tables. No benches necessary or to lift up and throw in a riot.

Hi Tom,
You've got the most useful and artistic images for Danvers State Hospital. I am making a documentary about one of the residents who ended up going the way of the times: leaving the institution, entering group homes and finally living successfully on her own. Donna Jay now helps other people with mental disabilities to learn how to do what she has done. The half hour documentary will be used for educational purposes: trainings, history, and for advocacy of legislature for disabled people. Would you like to give me permission to choose some images from this album about Danvers? I would write credits and titles as you wish, as well as put this website address a the end of the movie, in the credits. I don't need many: just a few historic ones and a few of the arty ones like turquoise door. Please contact me at Judy@connectyourstories.com
I'd really appreciate it!
