Inside out.

two kids near me went to two churches and caused over several thousand $in damage in each church asked why we where bored. Mark even thou you will not be ging o jail or be asked to repay orreplace the things u break or steal think about if it was your house and someone did it to u and then u wouldn't laugh so much. wake up and smell the coffee.

Joe Nissil has an awsome historical site for Rocky Point. Rocky Point Park first opened in 1847, this WAS one of the oldest amusement parks in America. In the eraly days this was a Victorian Amusement Park with beautiful architecture. At that time this park had state of the art rides including a Loof Ferris Wheel. The park is rich with history as well. In 1877, President, Rutherford B. Hayes was the first U.S. President to make a telephone call. The call was between the President and Alexander Granbell who was in Providence, R.I. Later such famous people as George M. Cohen sang his song, Yankee Doodle Dandy for the first time. Even the Three Stoogies performed here early in their careers. It is sad that this great piece of American history is gone. If you want to know more, there is a book called: RHODE ISLAND AMUSEMENT PARKS. I am thankful that I experienced this great park before it closed.

Awsome photos! I grew up and spent my Summers at Rocky Point. Those photos capture the faded memories of my childhood. Nice site you have here, great photos. Thanks for sharing these.

i love your site and i love the pics of dixmont. i drove by it on route 65 so many times but never saw it cause it was up on a hill and i always wanted to see it. ever since watching fear on mtv i always wanted to go see dixmont since i live in pittsburgh. what a beautiful building it was and is. yes destruction has begun, the smoke stack along rte. 65 was the first to come down, and the trees that use to hide it also. now you can see it from the road when you drive by. but i don't know if the building was torn down yet. thank you so much for making this site. now i know what it looked like. and i am so mad that you got to go and i did'nt.

Just a guess..kinda...but isnt this the place that the movie session 9 was filmed...its about three or four guys that go there to do work on a few rooms after the building was closed..and one guy starts hearing voices...goes crazy and kills everyone...

there is a link on that wikipedia site to the one I've been reading, Ron's Official Waverly Hills site. He is a security guard at the hospital and is doing a lot of research into its history. Its a very interesting read.

Hi. You have very nice website! Beautiful design.

You just don't get it...

ahhh another hallway fix. It's amazing as usual. Thanks!

Sure looks like a can crusher...or maybe and oil filter crusher...something long those lines

Chicks were used for testing varius drugs antibiotics etc...sure look like they would be used for something of that nature...the very kind of metal..that galvanized and regular steel look more agricultural. Stainless steal would have been used at the very least a porcelin coated steal for anything that was to be steralized. An HVAC application seems unlikely because of the structures size any filtration units would be much larger

Most patients who died after 1920 were donated to medical science or buried in local cemeteries, but prior to this some were buried on the grounds of the state hospital, but there are no markers or plot records remaining.

The best resource might be to visit the Northampton State Hospital Burial Site Project

Chrissie,

Our friend Henry L. on this site has told us that he uses a machine similar to this at night for sleep. Why don't you ask him what it's like?

Poor Lyric. I think with all that tongue biting we may need more than just a tissue - mebbe a tourniquet or sumpin'. ;-)
