wow these shots are amazing..yesterday i actually went w. a group of friends to try and see the place and it was sad to see most of it gone..it should be a crime to tear down that building..its historical

This shot makes me dizzy.. I love it.

Y'know except for the paint being chipped the place doesn't look a whole lot different than when it was open..

I bet those ceiling tiles looked great when they were brand new. It's weird, it almost seems like the floor and ceiling have switched places.

It's like the light at the end of the tunnel.

That bed, to me, seems like the epitome of isolation. I think the room would actually be quite nice if it were in better condition; I'm sure the view from the two windows must have been incredible. And I love how the light streams in from both directions. But still, that bed...yikes.

I love the way the New England fall colors play off the red of the building, and how it looks like there almost isn't a sky at all.

Ali, just because people have mental health issues doesn't mean that they're any more "under-developed" than the rest of society. And mental illness also does not automatically equal infantile behavior, or poor spelling and grammar skills.

Thats a really pretty view

someone made that for money

I was at danvers on 7/15 and most of this is all gone now. Just the center building stands- all the auditorium and everything behind the center building is gone- I was standing back there on the old wooden stairs until the security guards came. I just got a warning though. At least pictures exist of this place!!!

Looks like the lights of route 1 through the fog

Looks so sppoky up on the hill when you drive by it on 95... the water tower and the coupelas...

..and the crane : (

God, I just learned about Danvers Insane Asylum, and they've already torn it down. Its a shame too, because I live in Massachusetts. Great pictures though, I wish they never tore it down so I could tour it.

It reminds me of an infant's mobile.
