EEW, EEW, and EEW!!! I can't imagine the stench, and I certainly wouldn't want any of this water getting on me!!!

But besides that, its a very cool shot ; )

Any water in the trays this trip?

me and my friends went into the morgue last night and let me tell you, it was crazy, and the place was filled w/ aspestus and a lot of water up to ur ankles...the place is pretty cool as long as u dont let yourslef get scared, and once u get past the morgue u can go into a huge room (not sure what it is called )but it is filled w/ old scientist stuff like scalpuls and thermometers. we were in there for a good hour or so until we left cause we started freaking ourselves out cause of noises....but im deff going back and there are many ways to get into those tunnels

How unfortunate people feel the immature need to destroy...

I never understood why people would grafitti places.. I guess I have a strange sense of thing's

what are you talking about...everything is still there ive been in and out of everyroom including the morgue i kno it all...any question email me at xbig420pimpx@netscape.net

until u get the the room where i taged...MOCK check it out

I visited old main last summer (summer 05) and photographed the outside, there are security patrols, but there were also construction crews. The place was already being torn down. I don't know whats still left, but I venture to say not a whole lot.

last summer (summer 04) I took a trip to MA to see old main before it was destroyed...I photographed the outside throughly but unfortunitly could not get inside. There were construction people all over one side of the hospital tearing it down. But what an amazing place, its horrible to think that its no longer standing.

Thanks for documenting this old-sad place. It was never a happy place to be and I doubt that when these high-priced condos (or whatever) are finished on this land it still won't be a happy place. It's unfortunate that we are so willing to demolish the old and beautiful to put up something ugly!

I can't believe how much stupid damage has been done to this room!!! I guess that's how some people get their jolly's.........
I guess it was destined to have a sad end.

All through these structures are examples of beautiful craftsmanship--they had to do it mostly by hand!!!!

I had classes in this building back in the mid 80's-I worked for the DMR (renamed now!) then-and it was still beautiful! It's so sad to see it like this.

This is really neat...what a beautiful mezzanine!

The main building had a chapel in it. Also the northern part of it was also used as housing for nurses and doctors. My father's office was down the main entrance up a set of stairs and on the third door on the right. He was the cheif engineer at the time he worked there.
