After I read Project 17 by Laurie Stolarz, I couldn't help but look up what the hospital looked like, and if it was in fact real. As seen here it is. And since I wish to become a film make, I would like to make a film involving this place, and its story. Its sad and scary to think about what it was like to live in this place, but people should know.

I love to walk around in the pictures that everyone so graciously shares. This one is exceptional. It has an ominous feel to it.

I had explored the interior of the hospital in 1995 and never thought to photograph what I saw. Nice work!

This is my absolute favorite location and favorite photo on this site(forgive me if i have said other photos were this time I do mean it). This photo reminds me of when I would walk to school on a brisk Massachusetts morning. Breathtaking!

my friends mom worked at Danvers, scary, but cool....
That book was awesome and did the hospital some justice. Those poor ppl.
It looks just exactly the way I saw it in my head when I read about it. So amazing!

It's interesting that right now on InSession (formerly Courttv) is an arson/murder case wherin the defendant is extremely mentally disturbed. The crime occurred 10 years ago and in testimony by psychiatrists it turns out the defendant was detained for observation in this very hospital. Must have been shortly before closing.

Not that it's not 3 years later (and anyone who was in the original discussion will no doubt never see this)...but the part about HIPAA and names isn't true. I am a Cardiac Monitoring Tech, and down each patient hallway (every 4 rooms or so) of our hospital is a big screen with each room number, patient name, and their heart rhythm/recent vitals. There is no specific "nurses station" any more, just small alcoves with desks between rooms...and so the screen is kind of necessity. Seems like JHACO (the hospital oversight group) would've shut us down long ago if it was indeed a violation of HIPAA.
a very beautiful, but creepy room. You just don't see architecture like that these days!
