Any idea what the rotunda was used for, or what it housed?
And p.s. did you have a chance to drive down BEHIND all of this? there's a super creepy playground that's all overgrown back there...I think there used to be some kind of camp there at one point....just recently worked up enough nerve to check it out! haha

F.Y.I. have been in the "new" building and it looks rather similar to this hallway, of course, a little nice, carpetted (kinda scary carpet though) ...

So I have just stumbled upon this website and am amazed! By far the best Worc. State website I've found. I'm from the area and am familiar with several "stories" of the hospital. One of which says that there were all kinds of underground tunnels that led to other incerators (perhaps at a near by hospital) and even across to the lake. Not sure how much truth there is to this, but you guys seem to like this stuff too!

Thanks
And excuse my poor english

that's a really good pic.

but may I add... jo and lynne... I think you've just given me one of the greatest laughs I've ever had on this site. thank you for lightening up the mood here! XD

Think about it for a minute. Put yourself in the shoes of the staff. Have any of you ever been to a place like this when it was operational? The patients were very (Excuse my language) fucked up people. Some of them could not bathe themselves or even dress themselves. The only way for the staff to clean them was in this fashion.

Go hard, Katiep!

I second her motion!

Perhaps losted is one of the orbs speaking to us from beyond? He/She seems to frequent a lot of the facilities captured on this site.

Katiep,

Trust me, there was plenty of truth in your comment. :)

And besides, Lynne deserves all the tributes she gets!

I'm all about apologizing today... but wanted to say, sorry about my last post... it's probably the bitterness/cynic in me.

Ok... My apologies right away. I have been consumed with this site for the past few weeks, and adore it! I have also been reading (tons!) of the past comments submitted... Lynne, as many have commented, the knowledge you have shared is wonderful. My interest in mental health and my actual profession (ugggh, HR, well, you might need some insight to mental health when dealing with employee relations right?) differ a bit, and in my research on the history of mental health, there has been derogatory info regarding staff. It is refreshing to hear the other side of the story. I am very appreciative for your willingness to share your experiences, and knowledge, oh and, I did see a couple of requests here asking you to write a book... I too would love to hear more of your stories/experiences. Sorry...

Sorry, didn't start out to post this as a tribute to Lynne <g>, but after a few weeks of reading some posts, I needed to share, and express my utter displeasure of reading arachnidher's incessant questions and request for comments. Sorry. I see one of these, and I cringe, knowing what comes next... If anyone has any questions or comments, please email me at; katiep@yaddayaddayadda.com

It does...Worcester. -_-

Or maybe a parking lot first. "Clock Tower Parking."

It's a Will o' wisp

It looks like it just goes into nothingness after the line of trees

Now, you know we can't tell you that. ;)

I miss me some Gage Turret. :( That'll look lovely when I'm home for my winter break.
