Huddled together....I think this building scares itself!

Reminds me of an old English castle and continues to strike me as so overbearing and ominous!

Instead of this building feeling like a fortress and protective, it gives me the feeling of trying to overpower us. Not comfortable at all. At least this photo gets rid of that red brick! Thanks as always for the GREAT photos!

The brick and the flagstone are an uncomfortable contrast for some reason.......

Hope you like your York chillers. Depending on what size they are...I probably designed them. I am a collector of old "York" items, gages and photos so I found this site very ineteresting.

I was at WSH on 1/17/08 - my daughter is a photography student at Worcester State. We tried to get into the building(s) but could not get in; a police cruiser came by immediately after we entered onto the grounds. It is a very sad place indeed. My daughter took plenty of photos from the outside but we would love to see what the inside looks (and feels) like.

Amazing looking place.

Several generations of my family were employed at WSH from the late 1800's until it's closing in 1959. Sad that the State decided to destroy any and all records of the institution. As teens in the early 1970's we'd enter the vacant structures. How I wish I took pictures now.
