505 Comments for Dever State School

I'm from taunton and there is a ton of stories and rumors about this tunnel system from what i under stand they lead right to downtown i've never explored them myself but i heard some pretty creepy stories i came here hoping to get more info

you should really reopen the institution

i really need to know where this is i cannot find anything about it online and i am an urban exploere

Same with my school. I'm the only person in the school that hates rap and wears black all the time. I'm known as Ozzy Freak and Goth Boy. I really don't think I'm goth at all.

DARKNESS IS YOUR FRIEND

when my grandmother worked there they ate lunch in an old morge
[ mmm i would love that lunch break ]

oh belive me i live in that town every kid is a eminem wanna be

Iused to live in taunton and me and my friends used to go here to drink and get high. bealive it or not there is still one functioning building there. and if you ever go in any of them tunnels there about 100 degrees because they still use steam to heat a few of the buildings..

if you go to explore, bring lights we were only using cellphone lights and so when i was climbing out of the open basement window that you can see right in the middle of the two wings i cut my knee on glass and had to get staples-pain in my ass

Looks like a good chair to electrocute some sorry ass murderer that needs to go and meet his maker. I'll wire it up.

First of all what floor is this room on ?

Because this room looks like it could have been a "day - room" for the Soldiers to play pool or play ping - pong or listen to the radio or read magazines or just sit and relax and smoke cigarettes. In those days they did not have smoke alarms in buildings and people did have the same attitudes abouts cigarettes as people do today concerning safety, health and fire hazards. So this "day - room" probably got real smokey. Today, in the Military building's and the Government buildings the Military Personnel along with the Civilian Personnel have to go outside to a designated smoking area to have their little smoke break.

Day rooms in the Military are usually on the first floor unless the building is several stories tall. This building has only three stories and a basement. But Military Government buildings are usually designed exactly same way on each floor, except the basement, in order to save money on design cost's so it is quite possible that there could have a "day - room" on each floor except the basement floor.

Since I am in the Army I can tell you for certain that this building does have the basic Military style of design for the World War II era. It has a very "boxy" and a very boring and bland look to it's architecture. I can see Soldiers performing "police - calls" around the building.

"Police - calls" is another word for walking around a building or an area and picking up the trash that has been thrown on the ground. And what is oddly funny or oddly strange about picking up the trash around a building or an area is the fact that the trash that the Soldiers are picking up is the very same trash that the very same Soldiers have thrown on the ground in the first place. So the Soldiers are picking up there own trash that they should have thrown in the trash can in the first place.
And these police - calls happens every single day somewhere in the Military. And don't forget; The United States Military Personnel are on every Continent on this Planet.

So that is alot of police calls and trash to pick up.

Did you look around good, the place is a mess. and there is over 200 arces of land. I'm surprized that there weren't any pic's of the pool near the pond, last time I was there it had a wheelchair in it.

Dave that is crazy, I've lived around the corner from there for eva. I won't go in there during the day. I walk around the grounds but, forget the tunnels its closed for a reason.

I love this website, very interesting photos. One question I have is how dis a claw foot bathtub get into a 50's building? Those tubs are much older than that.

I sat in those things yesterday
