I was last in Belchertown in 2008, checked out the theater again and that little administration building. It's been closed a long time, glad you guys are OK! I'll never forget that sound.

Yeah those close calls will reign your confidence in quickly, and you never know when something may give. I remember when that environmental inspector fell through a stairwell and died two days after I visited, at Byberry of all places; and that so much of that place was built like a tank.
Hot dang, a new gallery! And looks like it's going to be a GOOD one, too!

Unfortunately the view had become less scenic in recent years; it overlooked a basketball and tennis courts.

I thought tub room as well, but the forms are a bit too small, and there are no holes in the floor for plumbing. Two large shadows can be seen against the wall which line up with those narrow concrete forms along the wall, and there's a little mystery door in the corner.

Under the plaster was a larger terracotta brick, instead of the standard brick used elsewhere.
