It is kinda freaky that the curtains remain in situ when the place has been almost completely gutted otherwise...

My guess is that they were isolation cells, judging by the narrow glazed panel in each door.

Sorry. Just curious. That'd actually be too weird for me. (shudder)

Ron, my money would be on medical tests. Autopsies. Pathology. It's just a science lab. I doubt people were gagged, strapped down and subjected to freakish painful experiments and torture, if that's what you mean...

The lone chair, awaiting a spectral visitor.

As was said on an earlier thread, IMHO it's immensely disrespectful to lie down in a morgue freezer for the hell of it. Tantamount to arsing around in coffins, taking pictures to prove how 'brave' you are (rolls eyes)...

Excellent shot Motts. Espcially with the door in the corner.

ditto Mr. Motts, so do I. Im always finding things from former residents of my facility.

As a 'Kirk' it's got nothing on Danvers, but it's impressive nonetheless. The burned out frontage and black holes for windows makes this one seem truly dead, with no hope of resuscitation.

so many meals....great feastdays....singing...reading....book after book..silence...conversation...peanut butter mixed with sugar hidden under the table for another meal...fond memoried....

Darn, the autopsy table would be a cool shot. Have you ever gone inside one of them?

Is this the admin part of the Kirkbride?

I love before-and-afters. So eerie seeing what changes and how so much remains the same.

Again a super gallery, Motts you did it again. Was that whole wing painted pepto pink? Thank You for the pics of Dixmont, and the opportunity to view another great Kirkbride before it is demolished.

I used to shop at ASDA (it's British subsidiary) which as far as I know soon to take on the Wal-Mart name. That was, until I found out about their buying practices and learned first-hand from a friend of mine how they treat their staff - Dickensian doesn't come close...
