424 Comments for Weston State Hospital

We took a tour here a few years back, a very lovely, albeit dismal, place. Our nurse/tour guide informed us that this building was actually for tubercular patients. The caging on the corner was sort of an airing court where they would put the patients to get some fresh air, supposedly to help cure their "consumption".

autoguy I would think the hard part would be finding the engineers and architects withe the knowledge to be able to design a building like this, stone Mason's would have no problem building what was on the plans.

Really. I thought padded rooms were more prevalent. Odd. Maybe they just put the violent ones in there with just a straight jacket on? No head protection? Lynne?

HAHA!^^

And NOW for something REALLY special!.......

They finished eating the guard. We saw his hair on the mannequin. That must be the zombies looking out....Did you see any of them Motts?

^^HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!^^

Mica, that could be the rubber, waterproof liner along the bottom of the fountain.

I didn't get to see the entire building, but no, didn't see any padded rooms. They've been a pretty rare find in all the hospitals I've gotten to explore.

You are right...I wasn't paying too much attention to that when I first saw the photo.

Awesome shoot, thanks for posting! Best of luck to Rebecca in keeping the place going, and making money to keep the restoration efforts up.

Now I need LOTS of chip dip.

I need some chip dip.

I want to live there. When can I move in?
