Worcester used to be an awsome place to live, raise kid's, and live life. It had a little bit of everything. Weather it be ethnic or simmilarityies to ther citys. Now its only buildings like these or Bacroft tower that hold the history and memories. At leats for me. Ive had freinds killed and gotton into stupid spots myself, but i belive worcester is turned into a rogh little city not the wide open freindly space it used to be.
Ive been up there recently and the fire escapes seem like they keep repainting them simmilar to how they do that with school's. Im just wondering if the city still has some minor maintenece to the building.
Im only 18, but since i was 12 years old ive been looking at lonline research here and there, about the patients and the construction os the builsing. I found that the round structure in this picture was a food storage facility.
I have a fairly large and old york air compressor made in york pennsylvania,that has a model number and shop number on it,but i cant find any info on it.Does anyone know anything about these compressors?
Motts, do you know if there were any lights in here at one point? if not than it was possibly so dark to keep patients from roaming the halls in the middle of night perhaps?
It is sad to see the hospital in this condition
my father was the chief supervisor at Worcester State for twenty five years. I was
born on the property at 269 Belmont st in
1920 and lived there 18 years I roamed every
inch of that property inside and out. The
patients weather permitting were taken out
for walks .Some were on parole status
they could go to the city and roam Front st and Main st or any where in the city. I was one of the two alter boys to serve mass there, for
years. Also went to the movies on Mondays
there was so much good done with research
then .....................A lot of it was crude but so
was life at that time..
This was the best place in the world as a kid. I gotta tell you, I have broken in as well but there is a house at the end of Rocky Point Road (??) next to the sign that you have posted. A horrific murder took place there, its an awesome place to check out if you can.
