OOOk why is ther branchs on the tower ad not da rest??

I should add that my friend used Google Earth to explore the Dixmont site from satellite photography and she said it was pretty cool to see everything up there from that view.

No offense taken, Raymond. It's easy to over-generalize just about anything.

Anyone happen to know if there are any resources on the web that have a site map of the whole Dixmont complex? I think it would be really cool to see a visual representation of all the things that this facility was composed of. I know most info is focused on the Kirkbride, but the site was 407 acres in total and Reed Hall comprised only a fraction of one acre. There is so much to this site. There are also a lot of things that were part of the Dixmont complex that are on land that was not sold to WalMart and will still probably be there for quite some time even after the WalMart is built. It would be nice to know where some of this stuff is.

There should also be more on the cemetery. I've seen websites where people have been asking questions about it because they have loved ones buried there and they are concerned what will happen to the graves. I know the 1 acre cemetery still belongs to the State and won't be harmed by the construction, but these people have the right to more information about their relatives that are buried there.

I thank you for bothering to look it up. I've lived in the Pittsburgh area all my life and never heard of the official story on the spelling.

Can we start a "save the safe" campaign? This thing should be kept in a local museum or something. With all the new local history centers opening up mostly commemorating the steel mills, I think that one of the local museums could easily put together a very interesting permanent display dedicated to Dixmont. It was a place that was a national (and possibly international) pioneer in mental health treatment that revolutionized that medical discipline. I found a few websites with burial records for the Dixmont cemetery and there are people from several European countries buried there. This place had to be well known internationally in its' day and should be remembered as more than just the old crumbling building that used to be there before WalMart was built.

HEY!! IT'S THE CHOCKIE!!

No I'm right. It's vomit...

I don't wanna know what that junk is...

yeah i've seen session 9 and i didn't know it was filmed at this place. Its a creepy movie but didn't like it tho. its just too cheesy... sorry if everyone else likes it on this page...

Ow-ness. It looks like he has a boo-boo!!


*runs and get a bandiad*

Yes I did, thank you. I was watching the videos they posted there and checking out some of the pic galleries. I really wish I had the chance to explore more of the property. This place really had to be something when it was in operable condition.

I wish my hair could get washed in there!!

Woah. It looks like a bride cried her way to the bathroom!

Woah did the elevator puke?

That would just be evil if they had

Mine is purplefire at hotmail dot com. Since most of what I get is junk, be sure to have a title that stands out, like "From ~Me" or "From opacity".
