I was standing in a hallway, which was intact for the most part, looking into a doorway of this collapsed area. I can't remember which wing or ward I was on though.

This comment is a bit late but just exactly where were you standing to get this picture? I see they've renovated this entire complex and are now luxury apartments, retail and offices. They did a fantastic job of renovation but honestly, would you be able to live in a place that once was a hospital? I know I probably could!!

This hospital was also mention in a book by the name of Project 17.

This shot brings back memories to a degree that I can not even put into words. I was a patient here, and these stairs are the stairs that I took every day for exercise, and for time in the cafateria for visits. I just visited the site of the hospital, which is now a very nice apartment and condo site, and walking down the covered stairs brought back memories that where alot nicer than those inside, but looking at this picture.......

I dont know what u people talk about... Sure its a great building with history... A BAD history and it needs to be destroyd..

I read the book 'Project 17' by laurie stolarz its really good its about Danver State Hospital.

it was the nuber 17

This is so beautifully haunting. One can almost see the spirits of the past. As for Brads brotherly memories, it is touching to hear that someone, at least, was saved from a death in this place.

NO health facility would EVER get away with mass tobacco provisions anymore! ;)

Compared to the Kirkbride, this one's as impressive....as a public high school.

If everyone living or thinking about living at Avalon would look at this...of course, whoever does move in with the claim "Oh, I don't believe in ghosts" is going to get some freaky comeuppance for it!

this shot is very nice!..i have a bunch of black and whites from the interior...

I used to live in this building after I moved out of gaebler. It was called centerpoint

After gaebler I lived on these grounds. I remember this room! It had a board in the corner that said "today is. Tomorrow is. Yesterday was. "
