that's REALLY cool. have you ever experienced anything supernatural in any of these places? i feel like thats a dumb question haha

I wish I lived in America...all these awesome abandoned places! Yes, if it was me, I wouldn't resist the urge to chuck a brick or two at that car!

Awesome shots Motts!!!

Mabey Charlie Gordon may have tooken a cue from THAT book!

By been in there I ment the building, not whatever was there that made that arrow shape on the outside wall.

This is a very nice picture.
My sister's boyfriend lives in Foxboro so he might have been in there once... I'll have ask him sometime. If he has been there I'll be jealous! lol =D

I hear that sitz baths are awesome, but in all honesty, after giving birth I didn't use one. They gave us little disposable plastic squeezebottles that had tops like waterbottles do. And I'll tell ya, when bending down to clean certain areas is a painful effort, or when toilet paper is too rough for certain still-swollen parts, a sitz bath of lukewarm water can be a lifesaver. I know it sounds disgusting to those who haven't experienced labor - or had a c-section - but trust me when I say it's a godsend. Especially when you're not only fighting strained muscles in odd places, but also nine stitches in very sensitive areas. :D :D :D

We had similar single or two-person sinks in one of the four grade schools I attended. There was a small pedal at the front that could be pressed by one foot, but the spouts rarely worked well and the pedals quickly broke after daily assault by middle school girls. XD

well i'm working on these buildings fixing them up like new,but every day i go to work i get the creeps when i walk in....

i play lacrosse there now on u15 and there still r buildings there and we go in em

i live in foxboro and play lacrosse and i have my home games on the grounds of the FSH and i went into the buildings and went to one of the cemetaries it is right next to the field but in a path deep in the woods and is near a big tree with a bunch of old drug bottles under it and then scattered bricks with patients numbers on them its pretty cool

Arrgh. Short version: here it is. It's a Mott brand sitz bath. http://www.noreast1.com/dvsitz4.jpg

Those sinks are still around. They're called Bradley Wash Fountains. They come in full round and half round versions.

Just like a beautiful bitter-sweet dream!!

My mother told me that (in the 70's) the men & women had to share the use of the bathrooms and showers which made her stay there even more disturbing!!
