It is a shame that such beauty and such detail is rotting to nothing. They states should really look into restoring places like this. Like where I live, the mayor is more concerned on putting up a stupid stadium that no one wants that will cost the city millions of dollars to build. Try restoring the Smallpox hospital on Roosevelt Island first, or the Typhoid hospital on North brother Island, and even the 100's of years old building across the street from my house that is a piece of history just slowly decaying away. It is really ashame

I would like a room with a view, if you don't mind

Good on ya, Bean! :-)

Looks like someone finally flipped, tired of marking the days in scratches on the wall, and trashed the place in a fit of frustration...

How grand.

Could this be one of the rooms which was used in the movie In Dreams??

Christina, I believe that spending "forever" in one of these rooms is a far better alternative then living on the streets and being abused and maltreated by the general public. At least here one had shelter, food and care - somewhat.

Impressive. Stunning.

Ugh. This place is freeky. Look, someone left their hat on the ground. :(

would be different if i was there
i like the rush that is felt when entering a place like that

there are two morgue drawers and the grate from the autopsy table gone now.

Stacy, I hope to have my Dixmont photos up soon but it will probably take some time to get to that set... they seem to finally be moving ahead with the demolition, I'll post an article on the main page by tomorrow.

i have friends who say they've been there. i wanna go, too. though i hear security patrols at night. better off going during the day. personally, i'd be too chicken to go at night... also less chance of being arrested for trespassing. :-p

This one looks exactly like a scene from Silent Hill 4. When the guy runs down into the subway

Does anyone else find it interesting that the string ends in this ? I think it's creepy.
