Initially designed for entertainment, but they could also be used for meetings and in-service training as well.

Ive seen a few hospitals, not "state" and not one of them had a auditorium or theatre were these teaching or for entertainment purpose.

On the skeleton hand, it should have been reported to the proper authorites,could have been someones loved one missing, as for getting to see this place WEAR BLACK.

I wounder where the soul is who last laid in this bed,is he living else where or is he lost.

I am in love with this photo.Its breathtaking. Motts your the best.

It is unfortunate that the building is being demolished.It would be difficult to preserve after so many years of neglect.Another problem is that old buildings like this are full of asbestos and lead paint.

There are many hospitals like Danvers that are being demolished.The land is worth alot of money to developers.Some of the land at McLEANS hospital is being used to build condo's.For those who do not know McLEANS.It is located in Belmont Ma.The hospital is still in operation treating people and involved with alot of research projects.

i just watched sessions 9 and seeing these pictures and listening to all the people here that worked or visited the place gives me an scary but exciting way these pictures are coming across.

it truly is a beautiful building was .i was across the road from it today the water tower still stands.

I have helped.

Then you might want to think about a nice anticholinergic agent to help you with that. And after you loosen up a little, go down to the streets and rivers where many of the people are who have been "freed" from the mental hospitals and help pass out blankets and sandwiches, wouldja? Talk is cheap and whining is cheaper.

Could that be the staircase to heaven?

Iam very far from personal guilt trip.I couldnt make it that far doing the thorazine shuffle.

i recently saw the movie, i was so fascinated by this building. It is a shame that so much history was destroyed.

He missed a dose.
