Hey Ludlum,
I think this happened at a lot of places. I myself live next to the former Northampton State Hospital; from what I understand, people that worked in the Kirkbride section of it went to work one day and were then told that it would be their last day!
From what I've been told folks pretty much just dropped what they did and left, which would correspond with what I saw in there.

They weren´t cremated in there. This happened in special camps, not in a basement of a hospital

The letters on the sign on the elevator are from the 1950s, or maybe early 1960s
