This almost looks like a porthole on a sunken ship

Amanda's Mom, you are so high tech.
You should get a job writing people's resumes, kind of like describing a bag boy at a grocery store as a "Nutrition Delivery Systems Analyst".

To be politicly correct? Nonhuman server.

Tear the joint down. The best therapy is to forget the past.

Forgot to answer the latter part of your question.
From the late early 80's to approx. 92 it was considered the "Discharge Prep Unit" as "downsizing" was in full swing.

My husband claims it is a verticle nutrition propulsion system.

Motts,
From what I have been told prior to when I started worhking their , it was an admission building or atleast a couple of the wards were for one of the nearby counties, and the large medical building had a couple of wards for for adm to the county the hospital is in. The basement of the building was used for patients to work, which they had consignment jobs for a nearby publishing company that used stand were the Home Depot now resides. If you would like more info you can
e-mail me at wrb03@optonline.net. Looking forward to any photo's you may have.

Twug,
What if it is female?

Same here, I probably looked at the pictures for a week before I realized that you could comment on them. Now I go straight to the comment section to get my laughs....

The hospital is off limits to the public; it is currently being developed by MassDevelopment and Beals and Thomas.

Nonhuman waiter?

Happy B'day Ed

I've added another article about the fire and demolition on the Dixmont State Hospital page.

Happy Hatch Day, Ed!
