Stunning, absolutely stunning!

Hi Hiller (sorry, couldn't resist)
Executone started in the 1930's with wooden intercom units and public address systems. They also manufactured hospital systems,etc. They did begin selling telephone systems in the 1970's. This is definately not a telephone system component. Over 25 yrs, I've worked on about all that Executone put thier name on.

i was thereee

Holy cow, I go a way for awhile and look what happens! I'm not even going to respond to the person who has called me a liar. I am long gone from the job of caring for the retarded. I've moved on . Nothing the unbelievers can say is going to hurt my feelings. I know what I experienced, along with the hundreds of other people who worked there and one final time IT WASN'T ALL THAT BAD.

This one's great, wonderful contrast.

i was on one of thossee

A wonderful picture of a tragic subject. You have to ask yourself why nobody sees the importance of preserving these venerable vessels: it's horrendously expensive though, I suppose.

So developmental exhumation of a corpse - thereby disturbing a final resting place - is alright as long as the person was mentally ill when alive, but not okay if they were mentally sound?

there are so many people that they buried out there they r bound to dig up some of the people it is just so sad because some of the people were not even crazy that were in that place

the powerplant my dad works in has large windows just like this where the turbines are.

It is abandoned... I live about an hr or so from it

S

gives a whole new meaning to "warehousing."

I also thank Motts for showing us the inside of these places. I make sick jokes about it all, but there was so much pain and suffering in these places. The history of medicine is really important. I wish our society would acknowledge it and be upfront about the mistakes of the past.
Maybe Andrew was in one of these in a past life......

And wouldn't it make a great kitchen island in the condos up at Danvers State?! (yeah, I'm obsessed with that....sorry)

hey, maybe they'll reclaim some of these for the bathrooms in the condos being converted up at Danvers State hospital. All the rage in former mental hospital decor.......
