Like I said, Your Black & whites are AMAZING. This is def. a great shot. I like the composure on this, the angles make it look almost 3 -d

Motts -
Stick to the Black & Whites
Most things especially old biuldings like this seem to stand out more in black in white. Almost like your experiencing it as a historical place and sometimes when you see it in color, it tends to take away that feeling. You just seem to see a brick building, and not a place captured in time, if that makes sense....

my friend and i went in there once, he always tries to get me to go back, i don't care to be arrested though. anyway, he said once when he was in there that some weird stuff happened. he felt something scratch him and it wasn't his friends. he also found some slips of old patients laying around and took them out and showed them to me. fucking weird, one this i noticed on the slips was a category called "occult blood". what the hell is that? freaky...

Nice rule of thirds Motts.....
Say are there any of these types of Buildings in Florida? should you know any names I can research them myself....

STUNNING. ASOLUTELY STUNNING...
THATS ALL I CAN SAY.

Outstanding pic, definately one of my favorite asylums.
It makes me mad they destroyed DANVERS I hope whe can save this one

These are awesome pictures, I miss Rocky Point.

So this IS a mental institution right?
You'd NEVER expect to see such NICE things that are so preserved in an Insane Ayslum......

I LOVE LOVELOVE that fireplace....
I WANT IT!

You're different than I thought. Liked the haircut.

No comments here yet. Let me be the first one than. Large passages. High ceiling. Definetly used for heavy-duty loads.

Oh god. I may be mistaken but that looks like the stairwell my brother came down wrapped in a sheet believing he was the second coming oif christ. I was about 8 yrs old and scared outta my mind. My brother was shizophrenic,manic., etc.

Great site! Here's some interesting facts. I basically "grew up" at this hospital. Lived in nearby peabody with most relative residing in danvers. My dad was in an out of there for alcohol treatment in the mid to late 60's. I was a baby and my mom would bring a little picnic and we would visit ( i don't recall too much as i was about 2). my dadi passed in 1972 and again I was there visiting my older brother who was confined there off an on for schizofrenia and manic depression. Now being older, around 7 - 11 yrs. old, i remember eery and disturbing images of that place, that still haunt me today. My mom would lock me in the car to run in my brother some cigarettes or something and the weird patients coming up to the vehicle banging on the window..........i could go on an on. I'm 40 now and this place will haunt me forever. I later met someone whose mom worked there full-time for years during the early to late 60's as a nurse and this girl too pretty much grew up there having to accompany her mother to work at times.

It pretty clearly looks like pipes to me.

Of all of the great pictues you've taken for some reason i find this one to be one of my favorites. I guess its just the blue and green tones of the glass that grabs my attention.
