No, not padded, this was a medical building for physically sick patients. Isolation rooms are a possibility.

Its so interesting and sad to think that, even if this place wasn't being demolished, no one will ever reach those cabinets again.

Glad I wasn't behind that when it went over. It looks like a movie set but I bet it's a good deal more solid. Looks like someone had a nice little office at the end of that corridor once. Talk about a room with a view...

Yup, the Kirkbride complex was also called Reed Hall.

Yeah I've never felt the urge to crawl into a morgue freezer just for kicks, but I've been in them for toe tags.

I like the abestos tunnels at Danvers better, but these are pretty cool too.

i just viewed the old postcard and other pics, wow totally awsome, the before and after shots make you think. I believe this is the best Kirkbride of them all.

It's a thingamyjig.

Nature has done a pretty good job of reclaiming it - I doubt there were 30-foot trees peeping above the walls when it was in use!

Or, all the souls who stayed behind, are finally going home....

btw it isn't me, awyper :-)

This is an unusual, but perhaps refreshing sight after all the pictures of vast, communal toilet and shower rooms in other institutions

It's sad were not going to see it again.

I would have checked behind them just to be sure.

Still, it's creepy.
