June 1979 I was 12 going on 13 in September. This would be the summer between elementary and jr high. Spent the summer riding my bike, playing along the creek and trying to figure out this thing called puberty.

Wow, flashback, my father was a nursing supervisor there for many years, he also was the projectionist. I sat in that area to the left. Picture brought me right back to my childhood.

Given Danvers history has anyone living in the converted part ever reported anything strange?

Hi Tom,
You've got the most useful and artistic images for Danvers State Hospital. I am making a documentary about one of the residents who ended up going the way of the times: leaving the institution, entering group homes and finally living successfully on her own. Donna Jay now helps other people with mental disabilities to learn how to do what she has done. The half hour documentary will be used for educational purposes: trainings, history, and for advocacy of legislature for disabled people. Would you like to give me permission to choose some images from this album about Danvers? I would write credits and titles as you wish, as well as put this website address a the end of the movie, in the credits. I don't need many: just a few historic ones and a few of the arty ones like turquoise door. Please contact me at Judy@connectyourstories.com
I'd really appreciate it!

Hi. I am a filmmaker making a documentary about one of the former residents of Hogan, one of the Mentally Retarded wing. I'd love to use a few of your photographs that show what this place looked like, how this and other buildings became abandoned, and to show the changes regarding the Mentally Retarded. Could you contact me at Judy@connectyourstories.com
Thanks! Love your work.

Is there any way I could get a high quality shot of the front of the building to print off and frame? I'm an abandoned photographer and hate that this building is gone. I just want a good shot of it to hang in my house somewhere. thanks,
