Isn't it funny that these things are left here to rot. Makes you wonder if they wrecking crew takes them home or tries to sell them for scrap

You can see in your minds eye the people herded up like cattle waiting for food

This picture makes me feel so sad for some reason. Thinking about the people who were looking out from this porch only to realize that they would never be free to go outside on their own

Looks like they made it out of a potato sack. Man bet the gals LOVED wearing those!

FANTASTIC SHOT!!!!!!

Looks like someone is shining a light down from the ceiling....eeeerrrriiiieeeee

How many people were in this chair without nouvican (sp?)

Is it safe?

This is probably where the cremated the bodies of paitents

Through the good offices of a friend of a friend. I recieved a brick from the Kirkbride Building. It's a memento I will treasure.Between my father, an aunt, myself, and my wife, we have worked at Danvers State for over a hundred total years. If I included me ex mother in law and father in law the toal jumps up to nearly 175 years of service at Danvers Stae Hospital. For many nostalgic reasons I am saddened to see the tearing down of a place where family members have served for many years. I hope the new developers show some respect for the place and preserve as much of the place as it is safe to preserve.

I've personally been to many of the places pictured in the gallerys. By the way Mr. Mott you did an outstanding job with this gallery. You treated the place right. Going on the developers will have the devils own time getiing rid of the tons of asbestgos contained in the property. It's everywhere

CTG = "Continued Treatment Group"

Hello everyone, I am new to this site, but I would like to toss my shabby hat in the ring if I may.
Like many others, I first saw this magnificent place in Session 9, and was awed to find that it was real. The photographs are lovely, and truly convey a tenderness and respect for their subject that I have not seen anywhere else on any other site. Thank you all for bringing this place to light. I will also be sad to see it go, and I do not envy the poor idiots who will be conned into living there later. They should be warned, it is not right to rebuild there. Anyway, thank you all, and Blessed Be.

could someone please tell me where some of these places are located??? i'm in portland oregon so anything around here would be cool... thanks seabass649@hotmail.com
