After all these years, the walls are so clean and untouched. It almost feels as if you were there and connected in a erie way.

Big Ed,
In my old age, why would I feel the need to lie? I would like to know.. were you a patient there also? They were still doing ECT in 1976 I know, I was there, and I don't need for you to believe me. The "witnesses", of course they were there. They of course did nothing, this kind of thing happened all the time. Also, sometimes, if there was a particular nurse that had a patient to watch, they would bring them with them on daily business throughout the hospital, only if the patient wasn't dangerous, Chloe was not dangerous. This happened to be a rare occasion, but it did happen, I am not going to change what I said, and I stand by it fully. I know what went on, and I was full witness to all events.

I was just thinking that the person who took the pics had special permission....I asked before if read that tiny print

oops sorry.....scratch that question please:(

How did you get in?

I keep coming back to this site, and especially this picture, to express my dismay at its demise.

I was up there this weekend and the kirk is intact though it has a new roof and is missing many of the side wards/ wings. the guy climbing the water tower told me that it will be coming down in the nex two weeks so if you want to get out there now is the time. still a lot to see despite all that is demolished

The colors in this photo are perfect.

Incredible architecture. I feel a sense of evil eminating from it though.

I worked there 45 years ago people tend to forget where the words idiot,moron, and imbacile are used .They were all there, a very ,very sad place to work. Attendants carried soap in a sock for protection. I lasted 3 day's. I couldn't handle it.

rectal cranial inversion!!! That's brilliant!

I do wish all you former DSH patients would learn to spell...;-)

(that should get 'em goin)

This was one huge fire, seen for miles! Destroyed 7 new apartment buildings that were not completed yet. There was an areal shot of it in the Worcester Telegram.
I went to the Avalon Bay webcam to see if I can see shots of the place after the fire and they put a password protect on it.

These spires remind of the ones that are on Worcester States' Kirkbride buildings.

I am curious to know how these fires started.

Well it did, the morning of Easter Eve, 3 60-70% completed apartment buildings burnt down
